Lynden St. Victor

I love Lynden St. Victor's work i first saw one of his paintings in 2006 and i was memorized. Having that painting in front of me was such a beautiful moment of my life. I know people say there's going to a piece of art that is going to take your breath away and speak to you; well I found that art piece then. I know it's a little cheesey, but I truly love this piece. He has so many other painting that are gorgeous as well; so I would like to show you a couple of his pieces and then end with the painting that will always be the most beautiful piece I will ever see.

Sweet Dreams

I first saw this painting when I was 15 and found out my father had a tumor; it was such a comfort and form of peace that made me feel like someone else understood. We were also planning my sweet 16 party and my biggest fear then was to loose my father; as well facing the fear itself of growing older. I was so conflicted then and didn't want to take any steps further in fear of the unknown as well as the uncertainty or promise that my father would live to grow old. 

When I saw this painting I saw a young girl ready to get married, but fears of what life may bring. She fears of letting go of her comfort zone to go and explore the unknown. The butterfly fly to the light was a representation of the new found freedom that is awaiting her. It was a symbol of moving on in my opinion. I just adore this painting and I hope you enjoyed all of his magnificent paintings as much as I do.
