The Freebirth of Venus
(Gifted; copies available)
The waves part to reveal her, unclothed, reborn of the tumult around her. The moon looks on, proud of what the girl has accomplished, proud of her strength and resilience in this harsh sea, prouder still that she has the sense to set the dove of peace free so that she may work on finding her own.
I painted this for my therapist L, who has been here for me for just under four years now. She is truly my guide and my protector. The moon shows a deep trust and appreciation in the girl's actions and existence, and this is consistently what L shows me. She has never lied to me, never hurt me, never given me any reason not to trust her, and finally I am starting to, warily, but increasingly. L is someone who will not lead me astray.
