Analysis by Sarah Parkhurst
In this piece of art work, there are two hands that are in the center of the painting. They are forming a shape of a flower, and are pointing upward where there are ascending crystal formations. Throughout the painting the artist uses neutral colors, keeping the focus on the shape and form of the subjects. The painting sits inside of a deep frame, giving an intimate deep personal feeling to the artist. The artist invites the viewer to experience the form, neutral tone and message of the painting. After reading the artist statement and understanding the inspiration, there is a strong spiritual influence that is being portrayed in the painting.
