THE REASON
FIRSTLY, AT THE END OF THE DAY, MY HUSBAND LOVES THIS PAINTING SO MUCH I DECIDED TO TAKE IT OFF THE MARKET AND DONATE IT TO HIM
'The Reason' is one of extreme love and the most terrible loss. The gentleman\man in my painting is very much alive, however, the lady in question, is most certainly dead.........
This is why I painted her hair 'BLUE' and left her in an almost blue cloud like haze. Her skin tone has been left almost completely ghost white, with her lips the palest of pinks.
However, is this lady physically dead? Or is she just feeling dead in her soul and is unsure of which spiritual path to take???
Perhaps, the gentleman is more of a man, maybe needing to be in touch with his inner emotion more, in return, he is blocking this lady from her emotional spiritual response towards him???
The butterflies on the gentlemans\mans side are far more striking than the butterflies on the womans side. Maybe this guy is a definite mans-man, who is full of adventure, humor and good times, maybe he is too man to ever fall deeply in love with a woman.
Her butterflies are very muted and feminine, they are, as under a shimmering cloud of her emotions. These emotions could rule her, making her feel at times ungrounded and totally lost.
Losing herself, lost to herself, unsure of who she is, almost dead-alive.
However, this man could be every inch the gentleman. He could have always loved her, always been in love with her, every second they were together......
Maybe, she died young, in some unfortunate circumstances leaving him heartbroken, lost and collapsing his world.
With the stress of having to rebuild his entire emotional and inner life again, having to reach inside of himself to his very soul, in the only way he knows how. A personal, personification of himself. Just imagine his terrible pain, his feeling of such an entire loss, that he is blanketed in the dark. The only way forward for himself is to find the way to bring back the chinks of light, that will slowly start to rebuild his world.
On the other hand, this couple could have just kissed for the very first time. Maybe, he felt those butterflies in his stomach more than she did???? After all, his butterflies are more striking than hers, almost as though he has come alive with her very kiss!!!!
This womans hair is blue, she could be playing things cool and just enjoying 'the moment of him' nothing more.........
She could be 'The I'm Never Falling In Love One' Always with an air of mystery, always closing her inner door on him, when he wishes for it to fly right open. This could be a self preservation technique on her part, for she is definitely of the chase and not of the catch.
However, she could be so deeply in love with him, treasuring every second they have ever spent together.
For, She, at her death, with her gentleman by her side, would have found it extremely difficult to say 'goodbye.' Crossing over to the next dimension, without him, with no idea of how long she will have to wait before they are reunited souls again.
