FROM OUR JOURNAL PAGES:Sacred Ties
40 x 40 acrylic on canvas
peg: We wanted to paint something for John and Ye’s wedding that would not only honor two individuals and their uniqueness, but also honor what happens in a successful union of two people. The marriage relationship itself rises with a life all its own. The task becomes how to balance individual, opposing or different needs and still nurture and grow the relationship. If done with care, this third thing rising is not a burden, but a guiding light for both people.
chuck: We’ve painted with this color palette before, but little did we know that the theme would be part of a painting we created for our son John and his wife Ye’s wedding. As we venture to Shanghai, China for the ceremony, we will encounter the connection being made between families as well as cultures. Honoring and nurturing the best in another gives rise to our greatest self. The poetry of John O’Donohue expresses it this way, Awaken your spirit to adventure; Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk; Soon you will be home in a new rhythm, For your soul senses the world that awaits you.
