A Wing and A Prayer

In this contemplative work, Reinike blends the ethereal with the earthly in a composition that suggests both vulnerability and divine presence.

A softly rendered angelic figure emerges from a golden field of ochres and umbers. The powerful arc of a wing sweeps across the canvas, its motion both protective and uplifting, while the angel’s serene face gazes downward in quiet guardianship. 

 At the heart of the painting, a radiant arch of light glows suggesting a sacred passage. Within it, a small window of vivid blue sky and clouds offers a striking contrast—a glimpse beyond, a symbol of hope, transcendence, or spiritual arrival. This portal becomes a metaphor for faith: a destination not yet reached, but clearly envisioned. 

 Combining abstraction and figuration, the painting invites reflection on life’s uncertainties and the quiet strength found in trust—where one moves forward not with certainty, but with courage and grace —on a wing and a prayer.
