Watching With Her was painted in a season of quiet grief, after the loss of my mother, when the world felt thinner and time slowed into something softer and more deliberate. During those days, one small ritual remained steady: watching a woodpecker visit the feeder outside my kitchen window.
Before she died, my mother loved to sit and watch that bird with me. Its rhythmic tapping, its pause between movements, the simple certainty of its return, these small acts became anchors. After she was gone, the bird kept coming. And each time it arrived, it felt as though I was no longer watching alone.
In this painting, the woodpecker is rendered in stillness rather than motion. It clings gently to the tree trunk, alert but calm, its body glowing subtly against a deepened, twilight background. The speckled feathers, the soft blues and golds, and the quiet warmth beneath the shadows speak not of urgency, but of companionship.
This is not a bird calling out.
It is a bird keeping vigil.
Part of the God’s Rope series where I believe animals see golden threads and carry messages between worlds, between grief and healing, between earth and heaven, between the living and those who walk beside us invisibly. In my life, animals have always arrived when something sacred was unfolding, . Here, the woodpecker becomes a witness, to memory, to love, to continuity.
The title Watching With Her holds that meaning close.
Not watching alone.
Watching with someone who remains.
If this animal feels familiar to you,
you may want to explore it more personally.
What this painting holds
The animal as messenger: A messenger between world’s. They move between sky and earth, between seen and unseen realms.
The thread: unseen but it exists
The emotional state: Grief and healing

This painting is part of the God’s Rope series
A body of work exploring the unseen threads between human and animal.
Each encounter forms part of a greater path, a rope that leads beyond what we can see.
Through these moments, a connection is revealed, one that is not built through words, but through presence, trust, and quiet recognition.
