Two oranges are twin infants, one boy and one girl. One child rests gently with his pacifier while the other is still wide awake and admires her sleeping brother. Again, there is a reference to “Hopes and Dreams” within the motifs on the sheets of the crib. Perhaps the gardener finally received what she was hoping for, in double no less!
‘Blessings' is part of the ‘Love Boldly’ Collection. A break from my usual attempted realism, this collection evokes a sense of boldness in both the bright color scheme as well as the boldness that it takes to choose love. Themes of romantic and familial love, as well as love of self, love of environment, and love of other are portrayed in this series. 'Love Boldly' explores how love is present in the everyday small decisions just as much as with more momentous occasions.
