Etz Chayim isbased on Proverbs 3:17-18
English translation of the lyrics:
A tree of life to those who hold fast to it,and all who cling to it find happiness.
Its ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all its paths are peace.
Help us and guide us, inspire us and provide us
With the wisdom Your Torah can show.
Cause us to learn, renew and return,
Just as in days of old.

Come my Beloved to greet the bride
The Sabbath presence, let us welcome!
That is the translation of the Hebrew you see. The paintings is named for one of my favorite Hebrew songs in which
the Sabbath presence is depicted as a beautiful bride.
The Midrash teaches that G-d told the newly created Sabbath, ‘Israel shall be your mate.’ So when the Sabbath comes each week She advances toward Israel as if meeting her groom under the wedding canopy.
In my painting, the Bride wears a veil of the heavens the Moon lighting her way. She is drawn toward a little house in which Shabbat candle s are lit.

This is my first full size abstract so far. I was very pleased with how it turned out.

I created this painting fairly recently. It’s is symbolic of the charm Jews and other Middle Easterners use to ward off the “evil eye”.

More an emotion or a feeling of being caught up in something and unable to unwrap yourself.

This one has quite a bit of symbolism to me.
It also helped me break through a mini block I had recently.
