Mark 13:28-29 “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; when her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: 29-So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.”
Song of Solomn 2:13 “The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell.”
There are signs of the transition from spring to summer, and it happens so softly and gently with tenderness that it’s almost hard to see. Things are still growing and maybe not as cemented with deep growth showing, but the leaves and flowers giving a fragrance show the signs of summer. The days begin to be lighter, longer, and warmer. It illustrates the swift overtaking that happens as the growth accelerates and the colors become brighter. You begin to see what roots can take place from the miracles of spring and continue watching the beauty and vision unfold.
I chose colors to represent the mix of the golds and now brighter pinks and greens to show this transition. You can feel the excitement and happiness that comes from the relaxing summer days almost here, and the miracles witnessed in spring are almost ready to be enjoyed with everyone basking in the Joy.

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.
