The Story
QUOTE THAT INSPIRED THIS PAINTING:
"I choose to make the rest of my life the best of my life." - Louise Hay
(I have attached images that were behind the inspiration for creating this piece).
She is quietly self-confident, her face framed by the lush, deep red of ripe pomegranates and the tender green of their leaves - a nod to the pomegranate’s rich history as a symbol of prosperity, beauty, and vitality throughout the ages. It is said that the Goddess of Love and Beauty – Aphrodite, planted the first Pomegranate tree.
Set against the background of a sophisticated French restaurant, inspired by the likes of the prestigious Belle Epoch restaurant of Le Grand Vefour situated in the heart of the theatre district, which was and is, one the finest gourmet rendez-vous of Parisian political, artistic and literary society for more than 100 years (the kind of place where the clink of glasses and the murmur of conversation blend into a melody that feels both exclusive and inviting - where every meal is a testament to the art of fine living and every visit leaves an imprint of timeless elegance).
My poem for this painting:
In Aphrodite’s orchard bright,
She claimed her path, her own true light.
Not swayed by whispers in the breeze,
But anchored in what brought her peace.
With every choice, she grew her grace,
Each step a dance, her sacred space.
She knew that joy’s own quiet art
Blooms boldly from a fearless heart.
Rooted deep, her spirit free,
She shaped her life as it should be.
For beauty lies in those who dare,
To live a life beyond compare.
