About this painting: 'Reinvention' is a big flower painting filled with glowing light & fluid movement. Three white Morning Glory flowers (Convolvulus) undulate gently in the morning light, a warm glow emanating from their center. The painting creates a relaxing & uplifting mood which drwas the eye in a room. A mesmerizing union of color and ambiance, 'Reinvention' will bring a moment of awe and beauty into any space. With its gentle curves and comforting soft light, this painting will enliven any room and bring peacefulness to all who gaze upon it.

Creating this painting came intuitively & was filled with coincidence (or a needed message from the universe) painted in September, I was unaware that it is actually the Birth sigh Flower for September.

The Morning Glory is filled with symbolism & significance. It opens to the morning light & has died before sunset, its delicate blooms coming to life in rhythm to the sunlight & disappearing as quickly as it came to life. Naturally, much of the meanings behind this simple flower lie around the theme of life & death, rebirth, reinvention, new beginnings & the fleeting beauty of love, which evaporates in a brief moment..

Though it dies, it comes back. This shows great resilience from a flower. They’re able to grow in harsh conditions, thrive, renew daily.
These flowers represent being able to endure the worst, and come back better and stronger for it.  

Sometimes, I’m astounded at how the universe creates ‘coincidences ‘ to send me in the right direction.

I’d spent weeks mulling over the meaning of life &. death recently, responding to the many pieces of news worldwide making me contemplate the meaning of it all. I’d had a few personal disappointments & kept waking up each morning determined to try new ideas. Stubbornly positive & hopeful.

The painting came from me totally instinctively, I just felt a need to paint them. I love their simplicity & the way light seems to shine from within them. I’ve previously painted these flowers at various stages of growth as they unwind in a fascinating spiral.

Coincidence or a message of hope, nudging me trust myself? The painting carries with it a message of strength, hop & to have faith in your inner light. Whatever has happened before, each day can bring new opportunity & growth.
