Wing is inspired by some reference photos I took of a friend and her baby (now a teenager). I wanted to end my Mother Earth series with a positive loving image, so I chose this image of Wing and her daughter to paint from. The animals swimming or flying around her in a circular motion, represent again the cycles in life and in nature.
WING is the twelfth and last painting in the Mother Earth Series about our relationship with the Earth. The loving mother embraces her creation which is the natural world. She sees through the eyes of succulents, symbolic of enduring and timeless love, and conservation of resources. The desert in her arms represents the challenge of existing in difficult environments. Koi fish swim through her symbolizing strength because of their ability to adapt in many different climates. Lotus flowers symbolize enlightenment and rebirth. Doves have extraordinary homing abilities and represent the return to the soul.
