weighing you down,
abounding with grace,
making you a witness to Beauty.
When people fall in love, they make many informal and formal promises to each other. Promises are the evidence of the seeds of love. Promises are the stuff that strengthens the commitment and trust of intimate relationships.
This painting is a promise that life will bloom and will not degenerate into decay in the glorious light and warmth of Love.
Promises are made before what is promised is realised or experienced. They anchor our hearts in hope, when the storms of life begin to brew. Without an assurance of the sunlight breaking through the clouds of darkness, we do not have the willpower to get through the rough times of life.
This painting is a reminder for dreamers and prisoners of hope that pain/hardship is NOT the end of the story. This is not for the faint of heart.
