Wave of Courage

Wave of Courage is an original painting by Australian Artist Rachel Rae

Are you ready?!” the children exclaim, their eyes wide with excitement as the wave approaches bursting with the anticipation and thrill of the moment. Wave of Courage shows the powerful forces of nature meeting the unshakable bonds of family and friendship. As the wave crashes toward the ocean pool, two brothers stand protectively supporting their younger sister, who clings to the chain at the edge of the pool. The surge of the wave symbolises life's unpredictability, while their unity represents the strength of love and guardianship. Exploring the raw emotions of anticipation and the all that bind us together in the face of life's challenges.

This original painting by Rachel Rae is painted in acrylic with a protective varnish on a deep stretched canvas, framed in Tasmanian Oak it is ready to hang.

Rachel Rae has been creative throughout her life, but whilst living in Spain in an apartment overlooking the ocean she was inspired to dedicate her time to focus on her painting art practice. Being an avid traveller and walker, Rachel Rae witnesses many life moments which is the inspiration for her artwork, painting personal records of flora, fauna, people and landscapes.

Rachel Rae paints in acrylics, quickly highlighting the movement of the landscape in a stationary painting, fascinated by the movement of nature contrasting with the static man-made objects and how humans, animals and nature co-exist. However by spending the time to paint the smaller details and minutiae, it allows time for reflection during the process. Capturing personal records of the flora, fauna, people and landscapes in life’s moments creates a memory and connection to past and present experiences.
