From Ezekiel 16:11 "I adorned you with jewelry: I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck, 12 and I put a ring on your nose, earrings on your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. 13 So you were adorned with gold and silver; your clothes were of fine linen and costly fabric and embroidered cloth. Your food was honey, olive oil and the finest flour. You became very beautiful and rose to be a queen."
What a perfect verse describing a most beautiful Italian woman who commissioned me to create white hydrangeas for her.
...when you walk in a dream but you know you're not dreaming signore. Scusami, but you see...that's amore! Vita Bella! sings Dean Martin and yes she lives a beautiful life filled with love.
As always, I prayed before starting and I was intrigued by the long strand of black pearls I saw and learned that they are a symbol of hope in healing wounded hearts. Hovering over it was a diamond encrusted butterfly brooch hovering in the early morning mist symbolizing the essence of emergence. And this one’s ruby body evoking the vitality, life, passion and fire she pours into her gardens and creating the Italian cibo d'amore, food of love, the manna for so many. How fitting and appropriate.
Here is the 24x36 oil called Radiate. For she who radiates the truest sense of "feed my people". This woman loves as she lives as in John 6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst."
And the circles? Hebrews 1:14 “Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?” Yes they sure are! And I was shown that she is surrounded by them. As birds of a feather flock together so goes it with the Lords agents. Linda’s home embodies and evokes her welcoming heart and no one leaves hungry. Not in mind, body or soul.
Blessings and what a joy this was. Dio e buono! Yes God is good!
