I Cover (2025)
Watercolor on Paper Framed 20.5” x 28.4” 
 
I Cover captures a quiet moment of protection — a man’s hand holding an umbrella, shielding a woman from the rain. The focus isn't on his face, but on the act. In this gesture, there’s no need for words. His presence speaks: You are seen. You are safe.
 
This painting is a reflection of what it means to be covered — not just from weather, but from the weight of the world. It honors the kind of man who understands that strength isn’t shown in how much he carries, but in how much he’s willing to shield others from. His role is not to dominate the space, but to hold it — with intention, with steadiness, with love.
 
When he chooses to stand in his responsibility, those in his care can breathe easier. But when he withdraws, the ones who count on him are left uncovered — vulnerable to what life brings without warning.
 
I Cover is not just about the man — it’s about the peace his covering brings, and the power of knowing that someone has chosen to stand between you and the storm.
