Winter Peony | Giclée Art Print Size:12x12Acrylic on canvas. Theres folklore that says mischievous nymphs used to hide in the petals of peonies which connects the flower to bashfulness and shame. This flower is a symbol of many other beautiful things like romance, wealth, and healing, but I was struck by the paradox of the stunning beauty of my favorite flower and this darker meaning. I think in real life, most if not all of us have tried to hide behind something beautiful to hide our guilt
Not only does it take immense courage
(Side note: if you go in the rain
It’s so easy to forget and allow myself to get bogged down by the hard parts of life
to fight and not to heed the wounds
Praise His holy name that He keeps bringing me back to Him regardless of my response to circumstances
The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad
and art breaks down barriers
and while driving around I saw this field of poppies in our city
Soft pastels on Canson sand grain paper
that to have nothing is to possess all
It's honestly hard for me to find words to describe it all to you
but easy to switch out or remove after you receive it
