For a long time, she could only take a few steps if two adults were holding her hands, one on each side. Nobody knew if the day would come when she would do it on her own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen one day at kindergarten, everything changed. When grandpa came to pick her up, the teacher said, \"You need to come and see this.\" And there was Clara, walking across the room to meet him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the way home, sitting in her little chair in the back of the car, Clara looked at grandpa and pointed up to God. That was all she needed to say.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrandpa called the family and told everyone to wait outside. When Clara got out of the car, she walked. The whole family was there, and there is not a single photo or video of that moment, because smartphones did not exist yet. But nobody who was there will ever forget it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis painting is from that day. All that pink, that big, bold, unstoppable pink, that is Clara walking. And the black around it is everything that made it hard; still there, but it never stood a chance. Hang this one where you need courage, because that is what lives inside it. The courage of a little girl who pointed up to God and then showed everyone what was possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOnce Upon\u003c\/strong\u003e is the collection where Clara went back to all of it. You will notice something different here. There is black in almost every piece, which is not something Clara usually does. That black is the hard parts, the struggles, the moments that were heavy. But the colors are so much bigger, so much louder, they take over everything. That is the whole point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcrylic on canvas — Serial Number CW1203, 2026 — 36×36\" (91×91 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clara Woods Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48294427885790,"sku":"CW1203","price":1480.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0488\/0701\/8661\/files\/CW1203_My_First_Steps_wall_sq_3.jpg?v=1780181731","url":"https:\/\/www.clarawoodscollection.com\/products\/my-first-steps-original","provider":"Clara Woods Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
