Below is my latest painting. In following with my exploration of the dark side, this painting is symbolic of rebirth…of coming into bloom both in spite of and thanks to the wounds which we’ve sustained throughout the course of our lives. The lotus flower itself is a symbol of rebirth in Egyptian mythology, which is one reason why I chose this particular flower. The second reason is because of the purity which the whiteness of the lotus implies. Yes, I believe that we can achieve a renewed sense of pure wonder and joy…scars and all.

Kajal, I truly appreciate your kind compliment! It is fun…thank you. I'll have to come by and see what you've been doing lately at your blog.
Wow I think this is an awesome painting! It feels like it's been so long I can't recall if you've shared much art. And "Dark Side"? Oh My Nuts, what have I missed?!*Hug*I really like the symbolism present in the choice of flower and how you portray it. I agree, scars and all, we can reach wonderment.Jak at The Cryton Chronicles & Dreams in the Shade of Ink
Thanks Jak! No I haven't really shared a lot of art because I hadn't done very much in the past. I have a feeling there will be more coming. 🙂 The dark side lol…you crack me up…you haven't really missed a ton because I've been pretty quiet here on the blog. So glad that you like the painting and what it stands for. *Hug* right back
The "blooming through the wounds" phrase really resonates with me. Rock on.Some Dark Romantic
Cool! I really like it. It's intense.
Thanks Mina. I'm glad that it does. The description just feels right to portray those who have walked through trials and came out of them stronger…wiser.
Thank you Spark! I'm glad that you like it.
