Oil on Canvas - A Pilgrim's Dream - Camino #10 - Original art by Melanie Circle

Camino No. 10 – A Pilgrim’s Dream

Oil on Canvas Abstract Work
Artist: Melanie Circle – Quadra Island

Description:

In Camino #10, Melanie Circle captures the power and symbolism of a threshold — a moment suspended between effort and arrival. Two massive red-orange forms rise like ancient trees or cathedral arches, leaning together to form a kind of portal. Beneath them, a path of light emerges from the golden ground, while above, a deep indigo sky presses down with quiet intensity.

This piece evokes the physical and spiritual reality of walking the Camino de Santiago — where every footstep brings both exhaustion and clarity, and the world narrows into elemental truths: sky, earth, movement, and faith.

Painted on a 12” x 12” canvas with intuitive strokes and bold color contrasts, Camino #10 is a visual poem about perseverance, protection, and the sacred geometry of the journey itself.
