Title: Reflections
Acrylic Painting by betsisanders
Size: 20 x 24 inches
Reflections are images produced when light is reflected, as seen on the water in this painting.
Reflection also means throwing back by a surface of sound, light, heat. Reflection may also mean serious thought or contemplation, expressed in words.
Painting and writing requires serious thoughts and contemplation. These are my ways of coping and dealing with life, that, at one point has become difficult, sad, full of suffering, pain, fear and anger. In this journey called life, I found meaning and happiness in these solitary activities, where I am not judged, where I am free to express my innermost feelings, where emotions are released, where pain and anger disappear,( if only for a moment), where I create simple art... where I can inspire others through my writing,, so that they too may find real happiness.
Pine trees are also my favorite subjects when painting landscapes. Christmas is never complete without these trees. The origin of the Christmas tree is accredited to Saint Boniface. When the Oak of Thor was chopped down by Boniface , in a stage-managed confrontation with the old gods and local heathen tribes, a fir tree grew in the roots of the Oak, which Boniface claimed as a new symbol. "This humble tree's wood is used to build your homes, let Christ be the center of your households. Its leaves remain evergreen in the darkest days, let Christ be your constant light. Its boughs reach out to embrace and its top points to heaven, let Christ be your comfort and guide."
This painting is a reflection of my present state... happiness is in me.
Betsisanders' prayer --- Lord, may my life be a reflection of Your love, in whatever I say or do, I offer you my creations, because they can only come from You.
