Her open heart echoes the pleasing words of her mouth. The spirit within her pouring into her own heart and filling it up with the most precious of truths.
The fire in her hand is a symbol of passion; her spirit of fire, perhaps the spark to ignite the hearts of those her life touches.
This painting became a prayer for my life and for the purpose behind my artwork! A prayer first prayed thousands of years ago, poetically recorded in Psalms 19, which is the writing this painting illustrates.
I pray for the resources and strength needed to share my deepest most heartfelt lessons, in a way that truly translates to others and creates lasting change for the better, in each individuals life.
The hidden beauty of the space around her head is filled in with galaxy colors in the shape and pattern of branches of the Fir Pine Tree.
The electric rainbow lines around the symbols at the bottom were inspired by the patterns seen on the bottom of a pool when the sun is shining.
Grey hair full of eyes; a symbol of age-old wisdom (enlightening the eyes). Her face displays a sense of passion. Her heart is open, accepting, and full of all the colors of emotion and life.
Her open heart echoes the pleasing words of her mouth, The Spirit within her, pouring into it and filling it up with the most precious of truths.
The words in her breath/scroll and heart are all different names for The Creator (all listed below).
You matter and what you have to say will be heard, don’t let anyone convince you to hide your light. Don’t keep your wondrous thoughts to yourself, don’t swallow your words, don’t compromise your way of looking at things for someone else’s idea. You have a unique perspective that is valuable and will be used for the greater good!
Come into your own power and draw from the ultimate source of righteous power.
See if you can pick out all the little illustrations in the piece from the text below:
“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun, which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy. Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults. Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord , my rock and my redeemer."
~Psalms 19
