Hope of the Prodigal – Original 16x40 Moody Boat Painting by Renee Smith

Some returns don’t need words.
Just a boat.
A moon.
And the glimmer of home on the horizon.

Hope of the Prodigal is a 16x40 original acrylic painting, framed in custom walnut and sealed for lasting beauty. Rendered in layered earth tones and shadows, this piece draws the viewer into a moment of stillness and longing—where light beckons, and grace feels within reach.

A lone boat drifts across the water while two others rest on the distant shore, just beyond the line of trees. The golden city lights reflect the warmth of welcome. This painting speaks of journeys made in faith, of grace waiting on the shore, and the quiet courage it takes to turn toward home again.
