A tender moment on a city path—“Father & Daughter with a Balloon” captures the quiet strength of family through gesture, light, and colour. A yellow balloon rises, drawing hope into the sky.
Father & Daughter with a Balloon by Anne Reid Artist distills the simplicity of love and belonging into a visual poem. Rendered in vibrant, intuitive strokes characteristic of Reid’s abstract expressionist style, this work evokes the emotional resonance of everyday moments: a guiding hand, a child reaching toward something unseen, the silent thread that binds generations.
The scene is deceptively simple—a man walks with a young girl in vivid orange. His hand rests on her shoulder, her arm outstretched toward a glowing yellow balloon. Light cascades from the upper corner, infusing the scene with warmth and movement, while the textured background hints at pavement, posts, and passersby without ever declaring them. It leaves space—space for memory, for story, for the viewer’s own interpretation.
This piece speaks to themes of guidance, protection, legacy, and the forward motion of hope. The upward movement of the balloon juxtaposed with the grounded figures creates a subtle metaphor: while feet walk the earth, hearts long for more. Part of the “Canada Arise Series” it carries prophetic undertones—a visual intercession for the nation’s awakening, its families, and its future.
