Aloha,
This listing is for the original of Soul Filled Spring. I just added a few subtle purple crown flowers to finish it, and it has the hand sewn embroidery threads as well. The idea began as the season of spring emerged, and I gathered my favorite memories of spring as well as the flowers surrounding me today. The most inspirational florals in this piece are the trumpet flowers we have growing in 4 trees outside our home. There are multiple blooms that fall past our windows each day.
I painted the fallen petals rising again similar to the resurrection message we celebrate at Easter during spring. It also relates to the how the dead in Christ will rise as 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 says,
“16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
Mahalo!
