"Healed"
Started this painting completely from memory. Made it up as I went along. (Used reference photos of different children to free-hand the girl onto the painting.)
This is all about inner healing, accepting yourself, forgiving yourself, and letting go of the past. But, sometimes we have to deal with the issues and do the hard work to get past it, which this painting really did for me as I struggled with my stormy past.
Lots of symbolism: The shadow of the cross, the face of Jesus in the sand, a dove hidden in the wave near her head (for the Holy Spirit), an angel dancing in the clouds, the heart shape encircling her, and the storm moving away.
