Many of my paintings are inspired by my life experiences and express the feelings and emotions I have during those times. A NEW BEGINNING is one of those.
About the painting . . . During the quiet predawn hours of early February 2011, I envisioned a painting and its title. As I meditated on what to paint, a poem began to emerge and A NEW BEGINNING (painting and poem) was conceived. Later that day I began applying the first layers of texture onto a blank canvas.
A NEW BEGINNING - 24 x 30
A NEW BEGINNING
Out of darkness
Light emerges
Understanding awakens
Love is born
A new beginning
A second chance
Another opportunity
Love takes root
Light spreads
Darkness fades
Love absorbs all surroundings
Leaving only shadows of the past
