Pretty in Pink

30.5X30.5cm, Acrylic on Linen
 
Flowers, I believe, are one of God's precious gifts - little bursts of colour that can't help but cause us to smile. A reminder that there are still beautiful things in the world.
 
The beautiful protea captures the attention of all who see her. To me, she represents the binding love of God's intended plan for marriage, as the centrepiece of so many bridal bouquets. Pretty in pink, she represents the bride, in all her feminine beauty, giving herself with wholehearted joy to her husband. And the love of the husband for his bride, in that perfect moment on that first day, as he commits to love and protect her forever - a small shadow of the incomprehensible love and protection of our Heavenly Father, for all eternity.
