THE NURTURER

Size: 8x8

Vision is the art of seeing things invisible. Jonathan Swift ~

LifeExpessions are paintings that people commission me to do either for a loved one or special friend in their life or even themselves. These very personal paintings are created just for this person and features what they are passionate about in their life. Capturing the essence of the person and what they love in life is very important to achieve in this type of painting.

This LifeExpressions commission is executed in an impressionistic style and the medium is alcohol ink. The center portrays the Tree of Life, a symbol of personal growth, strength and beauty. This symbol represents our personal development, uniqueness and individual beauty. Just as the branches of a tree strengthen and grow upwards to the sky, we too grow stronger, striving for greater knowledge, wisdom and new experiences as we move through life.

Surrounding the Tree of Life, which also has in it, stylized crystals, leaves and circular shapes are symbols of nature; flowers, birds and butterflies. As a nurturer of both children and gardens and a lover of nature and crystals, I wanted to show these symbols of life as a part of the life of the person that this painting was commissioned for. Green is the dominant color with shades of teal, yellow, blue and orange, all of which are the beautiful colors seen in nature.

This piece was created in waterproof alcohol ink. LifeExpressions commissions are painted on an 8"x8" (unless another size is determined, but they are always square) cradled substrate that is archival and acid-free. The finished painting is protected with several coats of satin (low-sheen) acrylic polymer varnish which is resistant to chemicals, water, abrasion and ultraviolet radiation. I also paint the sides of the cradled panel with an acrylic color that compliments the painting. Cradled panels allow you to hang your work with no additional framing. I also include a hanging hook and nail for your convenience.

NOTE: Please do not hang your fine art painting in direct sunlight. The painting is non-repairable if it is accidentally scratched or marred in any way. Lightly dust off occasionally with a cotton cloth and nothing else.
