State of Silver 16x20

Silver is believed to be a mirror to the soul, helping us to see ourselves as others see us. As a gemstone silver represents hope, unconditional love, meditation, mystic visions, tenderness, kindness, sensitivities, and psychic abilities. You have always been a mystic vision to me. A story of power in action, giving all of yourself as much as you can without fear or hesitation, always. 

In a way, your soul has served as a mirror to my soul. Showing me who I can be. How I can be. What I can do for others if I just let go and love and get out of my own way.

 I have experienced you carrying yourself with grace and wisdom far beyond this lifetime through immense, childlike joy. Carrying yourself through hollow, crippling loss, nothingness, gratitude, fear, triumph. No matter what the frequency - you stay grounded to Earth's spirit. You ask yourself what the lesson is. You persevere and in that courage, all women get a little bit better. You show love like you aren’t afraid. 

It is only that on your 25th anniversary is silver to be the traditional theme. This painting is a portrait of the lessons that the earth, air, fire, and water spirits all bring to your heart, and in turn into my heart and the heart of so many others. 

There are many angels in this work. They will shapeshift throughout time. The scratches in the paint are deliberate. They define each angel. Each lesson that you recognize and share is a perpetual state of silver.
