hear about this piece in my podcast episode #236
valerie hudson suggests that the two trees mentioned in the garden of eden represent our heavenly parents: the tree of knowlege of good & evil representing our father and the tree of life symbolizing our mother. each parent offers traits, roles and an apprenticeship for each of their sons and daughters to become like them. while they have different roles and strengths, they are one in purpose – creating, supporting, teaching, and guiding their children.
i chose a chocolate mimosa with its mauve foliage to represent our mother as it symbolizes adaptability, change and fertility. within Her branches, you’ll find blooms with symbols fitting to her divine role: daisy (life), iris (hope), yarrow (divine, everlasting love),
orange blossom (eternal love), cosmos (creation & creativity), pomegranate flower (fertility), white lily & daffodil (resurrection), and magnolia (nobility & femininity).
father is represented by an oak as they represent strength, courage, and knowledge. within His branches look for these blooms and their symbols: iris (wisdom), lotus (enlightenment), nasturtium (growth), chrysanthemum (truth), black-eyed susan (justice), wild rose (opposition), and white oleander & cactus flower (evil).

life is sweeter in candy color! my oil paintings are a celebration of those sweet moments in between the hard and unsavory...a refuge from the unwanted parts of life that so often visit us all. thick strokes of paint & color with stained glass shine -- are windows to the deepest treasured memories in our hearts. life is rarely easy and jolly...but savoring the sweet moments gives us the strength we need to find peace, growth, and fulfillment along our journey.
