Oil on Canvas - A Pilgrim's Dream - Camino #18 - Original art by Melanie Circle

Camino No. 18 – A Pilgrim’s Dream

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

Description:

Camino #18 is a painting of contrasts — bold, shadowed valleys intersect glowing hills and a twilight sky. A deep crimson ridge arcs across the top like a veil of memory or dream. Beneath it, dark forms gather, as if holding the weight of stories untold.

This piece reflects the complexity of the pilgrim’s path: where beauty and burden coexist, where silence has weight, and the road is not always clear. Melanie Circle’s brushwork moves like wind across stone — fluid, knowing, and quietly fierce.

Created in oil, Camino #18 is a meditation on courage in the unseen — a reminder that the journey holds both shadow and light, and that both shape us.
