Isaiah 34:4 “And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.”
The leaves falling as we transition to the darkest season. The heavens aren’t open, and there can be a sense of despair. We have signs all around us, including the animals changing their environments. They make changes, and we also have to make changes as we move into the darker seasons. But as we wait, these changes happen, which creates room for the new to come later.

Collection: Seasons of Light and Miracles: Hope within Each Season
We can experience light and
inspiration differently depending on the season we are in spiritually. This
meaning is experienced physically and metaphorically as we compare the darkness
of winter to the brightness of summer. I relate each of these experiences to a
bible verse and describe how we might experience it spiritually. I wanted to
paint light and hope for each season, as each is experienced differently in
each season. I also include the transitions from each season, as those are also
described biblically and in life, there is always a small transition that
happens. We almost don’t see it sometimes.
I chose Irises because they
symbolize hope, faith, and wisdom. When I see irises, I see them as flowers
with a feel of regal, delicate, quiet strength. Each painting has acanthus
leaves representing eternal life and the perspective that this can have on hope
and inspiration. Each painting has crystals which represents the idea of light
and intuition and how we receive it in each season, except as it gets closer to
winter, there are less. And in winter, there are no crystals depicted. The
colors correlate to each season.
