Truth, Friendship, Hope, Renewal

Ah, finally, the calm after the storm. The painting above was started the evening of the first big flash flood last May. I had a feeling of hopefulness and a vision of healing as I painted it. Yellow is the color of healing in feng shui and I had spent 2 hours pouring over some books on the subject before beginning this piece. It had an impact. There is also a back story about a friend from the Chicagoland area and the exchange of yellow flowers as a gift for healing over the years and across the miles. If you'd like to hear the entire story some time, I would be happy to tell you. And, if you look closely, you'll see the loving hearts I slipped into the foliage.
