Jeremiah 8:20 “The harvest is past the summer is ended…and we are not saved”
Amos 8:1-2-“ Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit. And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, a basket of summer fruit. Then said the lord unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them anymore.”
Amos discusses how that period of trials and tribulations and darker days are coming fast. The transition from summer to fall is when the colors begin to fade to deeper shades, and the flowers begin to wilt. The greens deepen and become warmer. The heat begins to lessen, and the nights start to become longer.
The colors I chose were darker greens and blues, and just a little yellow to show what’s left of summer. The transition to fall is depicted with fewer crystals of light as the trials and darker days are almost here. Though there is still light to be found.

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.
