Wedding Waterfall

I love this painting it's full of so much symbolism.

     This painting was inspired by my love for nature, my feelings of one with the universe, symbolism of feeling blue, and the lovely waterfall design of my wedding dress train.  

     

     You can find a number of symbolic elements in this painting.  The 2 birds represent the freedom purity and unity of free spirits.  The mountains one tall and sharp above the man the other rounded and soft above the woman is symbolic of the yen and yang of the male female relationship.  The 2 trees that grew together pooling each other's resources and combining them so both will benefit and flourish together each providing for the other what one may lack.  This is actually inspired by a number of trees that did this exact thing at different places we had lived including the one you may notice in "Up Mountain".  

     The flowers represent many things including weddings themselves. The willow trees are symbols of sorrow, sadness, and grief.  The tiny willow you can see thru the leaves of the other is symbolic of the one we planted for our son Mason shortly after he passed.  The water itself a symbol of the many many many tears I have shed over the years and the blue feelings that often overwhelm me.

     Wedding Waterfall has inspired a series of these waterfall people each with their own meaning and symbolism. 

Thank you and have a Blessed Day
