Hopes and Dreams Alive

i painted this last weekend on a retreat in san clemente.
it is packed with meaning.
it is filled with dreams.
in it, hope is alive.  
it signifies a process.
it reflects a classic beauty.
it is simplicity.
it is passion.
it is innocence.
it is refining.
it has to do with connection.
it illustrates commitment.

i got to sit in a circle with fifteen young girls from Biola University and tell them the story of a pearl....
powerful.
