John's Inspiration

One of These Days captures a tender moment—a parent bird gazing wistfully at the sky, imagining the day their little one will spread its wings and take flight. It’s a quiet, universal reflection, much like the journey of human parents, who know that one day, their children will leave the nest to find their way in the world.

There’s a bittersweet beauty in that thought—the pride of knowing they’re ready to soar mixed with the ache of letting go. This piece is a nod to those moments of reflection, love, and hope that come with watching someone you’ve nurtured step into their own.
