Title: Forgiveness and Reconciliation
Dimensions: 24x18 Stretched Canvas

Why stay in the Darkness of pride, anger and resentment? Move into the Light and feel the freedom that comes with the gift of forgiveness and reconciliation!
 
It flies in the face of all your pride
It moves away the mad inside
It's always angers own worst enemy
Even when the jury and the judge
say you've got a right to judge
It's the whisper in your ear that says it's time
Forgiveness, Forgiveness, Forgiveness
 
This painting reveals an intriguing interplay of color and mood, with its focus on a vibrant field of tulips set against the stark backdrop of a stormy sky. The choice to highlight two prominent tulips in the foreground with the bold colors of red and orange is impactful, as it immediately draws the viewer's attention and contrasts starkly against the monochromatic skies. This use of complementary colors not only enhances the vividness of the tulips but also serves as a powerful symbol of resilience and beauty in the face of adversity—a metaphor often evoked by such a dramatic juxtaposition.

The technique employed in creating the textured, monochromatic sky adds an engaging complexity to the piece. The gray tones, meticulously varied, provide a sense of depth and movement, suggesting both the turbulence and the transient beauty often found in nature's storms. The rays of light breaking through the clouds introduce an element of hope and renewal, balancing the foreboding atmosphere. This visual narrative speaks to the strength of composition and the artist's ability to convey emotional depth through thoughtful use of light and texture.
