Softly Love, Acrylic and paua shell on canvas, 30x30cmI had these bits of paua shell sitting around for what seemed like forever when I had the idea to finally do something with them. The words that go with this came to me unbidden; what a blessing! And I was reminded of something someone from my childhood used to be fond of saying, that 'love is like an elusive butterfly'. (I have no idea where the quote might come from). In this piece the butterflies represent the soft, fleeting nature of love. The shells remind me of how real love can weather many storms and tears, yet still endure, and retain it's beauty too. Go love!
