PERSONAL VISIONS

A woman in white robes kneels on the sand before an ancient archway. She is bathed in morning light that shines through. The abbey ruins around her include a fallen statue to the left and a pair of still standing statues set adjacently in high relief at the stub of a ruined pillar. Her red hair falls in a single braid down her back. Her robes trail across the sand to the edge of a shallow pool of water. The sky on the horizon is a line of purple that eventually gives way to blue punctuated occasionally by stars. A flame encased in a glass sphere floats above the ruins, high overhead and slightly behind her.

DAWN PORTAL

The woman in this Portals painting is seeking wisdom and meaning beyond the knowledge she can gain from cultural influences, here represented by the statues. Night is passing and she is facing the light squarely, drawing conclusions based on direct personal experience, not the received wisdom of bygone ages.
