Description
"On A Wing and A Prayer" has a common theme found in many of my paintings; the journey through life. At first glance the terrain in the background, representing one's lifetime, looks difficult, if not impassable. It is riddled with pitfalls and stumbling stones. But to travel from beginning to end is possible, as with a maze. Succeeding is a matter of finding and taking the right course. Some available keys to finding and taking the correct course in this artwork are: creativity (thinking outside of the box) represented by the key with a purple stone...love and honesty, for and with one's self and others, acceptance - represented by the heart shaped key with a white stone... and faith represented by the key with an amber stone.The key to faith is at the female's shoulder, representing that it is the key required, and used, most often. It is near and easily accessible. The butterflies are symbolic of transformation, growth, and of being on the right path.They also represent her prayers, with the large blue butterfly symbolizing the prayers she continues to pray, throughout her life...those that are most important to her and closest to her heart. It is colored blue to represent her sincerity. The white rose symbolizes grace; framed to hold and focus her attention beyond material and earthly matters that may hinder her progress.
