Carried by Grace is an original 24 × 30-inch acrylic painting featuring a swallow-tailed kite soaring above a richly textured Florida-inspired landscape. Layers of warm golden light, cool blues, distant trees, and reflective water create a sense of movement, atmosphere, and depth.

The painting was inspired by a memorable encounter with two swallow-tailed kites seen flying overhead—an experience that later felt especially meaningful when the species was added to the Alabama Wildlife Fine Art Competition subject list. Symbolizing grace, freedom, trust, and being carried by something greater, this painting also holds a personal connection for the artist, whose middle birth name is Grace.
