Song of Solomon 2:11-12“For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land...”
And out of nowhere, suddenly, we can feel the transition. The change from winter to spring is, to me, the most visible and dramatic transition of all the seasons’ transitions. The change and transition from winter to spring begins as we start to let go of the fears and doubts we have had. We begin to see small changes of growth and light crack through the ice of winter’s frost. We begin to feel the thaw within.

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.
