Beginnings

seed baby floating in turquoise water

Oil on canvas

US $ 900 (NZ $ 1500)

When something begins inside us, who knows where it will go?

When we have an idea, a dream, a love, a hope, a plan; when something springs up from our inner depths, who knows what it will lead to? What might it become? What might it grow into?

Like a seed carried in the sea, to be washed up nearby, or far off, putting down roots in a new place. Growing into something amazing.

The sea can be a symbol of the depths of our unconscious, and the newborn child can symbolize our soul, and all its wonderful potential.

Beginnings…
