Description

"In the Garden of Saving Grace" unfolds a journey taken to accomplish a personal goal. It is about strength, determination and grace. A commitment of the heart; although valuable and worthwhile, often difficult. The woman is cloaked, not ready to reveal herself, but seeking safe and secure ground in order to do so. The swan watching over her; protection. The butterfly symbolizes her transformation as she travels forward. Butterflies also symbolize "being on the right path". Its color, blue, represents truth and sincerity. The moths flying toward the light of a full moon symbolize unyielding persistence against the obstacles. (Moths are Photoactic: they have an automatic and instinctual movement toward light. A Photataxis organism is drawn to light even though it may lead to their ultimate demise.) She too is drawn intently to her destination....compelled. The background, a garden of flowers, thick and lush, representing the Universe in conspiracy, assisting the woman on her journey. The Egyptian lower border is symbolic of that which attempts to limit and bond her. The flowers represent grace. The paintings within the painting symbolize possibility and potential for the future...although not in abundance at this time along the path, still in existence.
