Description:
This is a painting by my new favorite artist, Melissa Carter. in the artists words: "THROUGHOUT THE PAINTING ARE BIBLE VERSES QUOTING GOD'S PROMISES TO THE ORPHAN. THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PAINTING DEPICTS THE PAST THINGS OF THE ORPHAN'S LIFE, TEARS, BROKEN TOYS, LONELY NIGHTS AND NO HOPE OR SO IT SEEMS. HOPE IS THERE AND I "ACCIDENTLY" REPRESENTED IT BY PLACING THE CROSS IN THE BLACK AND WHITE PHOTO SHINING ON THE WALL. THE RIGHT SHOWS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A MOTHER'S LOVING ARMS NUTURE A CHILD BACK TO HEALTH AND RESTORE THEIR HOPE. A BUTTERFLY, BRIGHT BLUE SKIES, A MOM'S EMBRACE MEAN ALL THE WORLD TO A CHILD AND CAN SAVE HER LIFE. THE STARTING POINT OF THE PAINTING WAS THE VERSE IN JAMES THAT SAYS, 'PURE AND GENUINE RELIGION IS THIS,... TO CARE FOR THE ORPHAN IN THEIR DISTRSS'. "
