First, I love the painting as it is. The cold of her shadow, the taught line from the key to the roots/tree below ground. As usual, I like the way the invisible becomes visible in your work, and ideas and feelings are drawn up from below by your symbols. Like <em>The Lighthouse</em> which I have at work now, not hung or placed so well aesthetically, because it's where I see it just past my PC monitor. The point is that I see it more often than most things outside my screen. And it works well for me there, calming me and keeping me connected to deeper things.</p> <p>On the other hand... I read through the comments wondering if anyone else regretted the loss of the darker, spookier image. What might that have meant? I've also not followed a dark image to it's conclusion, realizing that I'd had a glimpse through the door and that was enough (I didn't want to enter the room). But I sometimes wonder what those moments mean, and what might have happened if I'd walked into that room - towards that darkness - finished those images...</p> <p>I don't know.

I don’t know. I don’t know if I want to know. I do know that I wonder.

I love the blue colors that are throughout the painting. I love them because winter can be beautiful, not just cold and dreary. And it is the same with the "winter" of life, that even those dreary days in our lives, those dark losses and such, can have beauty, can have meaning, can be powerful, and can offer us a glimpse of the brightness that is always present, whether it be in the coldest day in winter or longest day in summer.</p> <p>Thank you for sharing!</p> Leah,
