A Gift of Hearts

9 x 12 Oil on linen board

A note from a friend:
"This is a beautiful painting. The embroidery on the outside cover is elegant with the little red ornaments which reminds me of red rubies. The thought that I get when looking at the beautiful cover is that it’s saying “even though I am beautiful on the outside, I am of no value until I share what’s on the inside”. When I see the open box with the hearts flowing out of it, and the ribbon on the side, what I feel it saying is “I have untied my heart, laid aside the cover, and poured the treasure of it out to you”. It reminds me that on the inside of our hearts is sweet treasure that can only be shared and enjoyed when we take the cover off."
