Some storms arrive with overwhelming force. Others reveal something just as powerful—the light that refuses to disappear.
Pushing Back was inspired by watching a towering thunderstorm stretch across the prairie while a single bolt of lightning split the sky. Beneath the weight of dark clouds, a patch of blue remained, illuminated by soft white clouds and the warm glow of the horizon. It was a quiet reminder that darkness is rarely absolute. Light has a way of insisting on its place.
Pushing Back is about resilience—not the absence of storms, but the courage to keep shining in their presence. It invites us to remember that hope is not fragile. Sometimes, it is the strongest force in the landscape.
Painted entirely in oil, this is an original, one-of-a-kind artwork by Janine Crum. Every brushstroke, layer of color, and atmospheric detail is unique to this piece.
