I usually don’t know what I am painting until hours of layering and removing of paint.
After the painting is done, I sometimes analyze for symbolism:
Dandelion:
Healing from emotional pain and physical injury alike
Intelligence, especially in an emotional and spiritual sense
Surviving through all challenges and difficulties
Veil:
Many meanings, including the veil between heaven and earth and the white veil of Jesus.
Purple cloth and white heart and dove/spirit:
Lydia made purple cloth in the Bible. Lydia heard the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the Bible says that God opened her heart to pay attention to what Paul was saying (Acts 16:14).
The bird in sky, the snake like animal, the beast in the field
King James Bible Hosea 2:18
And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
Psalm 148:10
wild animals and all cattle, crawling creatures and flying birds
