I worked on this painting all day. Wanted to make it realistic and yet surreal. Lots of symbolism:
~ The sunrise symbolizes the new covenant, no longer would animal sacrifice be required for sins and breaking laws. We are forgiven.
~The dove symbolizes the fulfilled promise of Jesus, to send us a comforter, the Holy Spirit, who gives us understanding and power to live a Christian life. We can't live it and succeed without him living in us and through us!
~ The crown of thorns is a reminder of the great suffering He endured for us so we can be blameless and find eternal life.
~ The flowers are called "lily of the valley" which has many different allegories. I was thinking about Christ being "the bright morning star and the lily of the valley." These lilies have healing qualities.
"Whoever is thirsty let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life." Revelation 22:17
