Sheila's Vision

54 x 64 cm, Oil on Canvas

NFS

I created a painting for myself to inspire me. When I have a vision in front of me in the form of a painting infused with intention and rich in symbolism, its easy to put myself there fully because I do literally see myself there!

I desire to create the feeling of a life that is abundant, peaceful, creative, joyful, exciting, fun, filled with beauty, sensual and limitless. In my painting I largely relied on symbolism and included my actual self in it to really bring it into life.

In this painting, I'm doing what I love and surrounded by objects that symbolize what I wish to create.

Pair of golden candlesticks with lit candles: Prosperity, partnership, illumination & light.

Flowers: Pink roses for love and beauty, red and yellow tulips for sensuality, sexuality and passion.

Fruit: Tropical, luscious erotic fruit cut open, ripe and ready to be enjoyed. Sexuality

Pair of purple & gold champagne glasses: Enjoying the best life has to offer.

White dog: Loyalty, love and protection.

Large purple chair: Spirituality and royality

Globe: World travel

Pair of white doves: the union of two. Hummingbird: Joy

View of the sea: Limitless horizon, and the desire to live by a warm sea.

Painting of Galaxy: For expansiveness. The spiral shape and movement of the galaxy for creation.
