The Weight of a Leaf

18 x 24
oil and wax on panel

Both my Incarnation and my Vessel Series are referenced in this painting titled from the poem, “The Weight of a Leaf” by Myra Scovel.

We have bent to love as a twig bends to the weight of a leaf…. is a description of love which bends and is sacrificial.
The vessel image is a symbol of who we are as communal humans. See group of figures above. But it also suggests the unity of God, the Three in One who bent to earth to redeem  and love.
