I have never purchased art before this piece - I appreciate art, yes- absolutely. I visit museums and enjoy art galleries, I love making my own art, but I am no art collector (or maybe I am now?!) I inched towards making this purchase very slowly and cautiously. I gave it little "tests" of time. I asked the price, then said no on a few separate occasions. I kept thinking, if its really and truly mine, it will wait for me. No need to rush. This painting was like a gentle tug on the sleeve of my soul... not aggressive or loud in any way, just a quiet message of "I'm still here, I'm waiting for you." I really love this painting so much. It resonates so deeply with my being. I don't know exactly how it was created, or where its going, but I feel very blessed to have come into alignment with this particular creation. It uplifts me, it heals me and it reminds me of my purpose. Thank you, David, for serving as a vessel! Your work is amazing! Keep up the good work!
