"Floating Lanterns" Acrylic Painting (Original Artwork)

Floating Lanterns in a River | Peaceful Acrylic Painting for Healing & Hope

One evening, by the riverbank, I watched people gather in quiet unity. One by one, they placed floating lanterns into the water — each one carrying a message: a memory, a hope, a goodbye, or simply love unspoken.

The lanterns drifted together, softly glowing as they journeyed downstream — a silent ceremony of the soul. This painting captures that moment — a visual prayer for healing and hope. The river carries what our hearts need to let go, and in the soft light, we find peace.

Each lantern holds a story. Sometimes it's grief, sometimes it's love, and sometimes it's just the courage to begin again. As they float, we learn to release what no longer serves us — and trust the river to carry it gently forward. This painting is a reminder: you don’t have to hold it all forever. Let the light drift. Let it go with grace.
