Glow & Guidance Acrylic Painting textured mixed medium 16×22


Glow & Guidance presents a tranquil coastal scene at sunset, where a large, radiant sun rests just above the horizon, casting a warm palette of gold and orange across the sky. The light gently reflects onto the calm ocean, creating a soothing interplay between sky and water.
Anchoring the composition on the right, a lighthouse with bold black and white diagonal stripes stands firmly on a rocky shoreline, its illuminated windows signaling active guidance. The surrounding pathway, framed by textured rocks and patches of greenery, adds a natural complexity that invites closer observation.
The artwork’s textured acrylic and mixed media approach enhances the tactile quality of the scene, emphasizing the quiet transition from day to night and evoking a sense of peaceful reflection.

Every piece of artwork displayed is an original hand painted one-of-a-kind piece of art that will bring a timeless creative visual to any room.

Creative Mind to Visual Art.

As an Artist and an intermediate painter, I often create some beautiful visuals by using the expressive energy that feeds my soul.

With gratitude, I thank the artists who share their talent and techniques so that I might learn to become better and refine my craft.

Thanks for the viewing!

A little about me.

Hello, let me introduce myself for those who are not familiar with me.
My name is Cyndi, also known as Willow Oakes.

I am an Artist, Photographer and Author who lives in the foothills of western Maine. My creative side is energized by nature where the earth meets the water with whispers of animals from the forest.

I love to capture the visuals of whatever feeds my soul by using photography which encourages me to produce my paintings ♡♡♡

I enjoy my writing times however, I do not always find enough time to participate in things like blogging because I’m so active outside. Writing often flows freely for me when I sleep so I have a recorder near at all times. This allows me to note my active thoughts so that I can refer to my notes when I am available to write. It all sounds a bit crazy but let’s me enjoy writing when I can .

Thanks for following my stories, photography and art creations!
