DESCRIPTION
The rose is the classic symbol of beauty and love — soft, romantic. But this one is also quiet and shy. She unfolds slowly, finally letting herself open — hoping no one notices, and that everyone notices, at the same time. Torn.
The pastel painting has a soft, old-time classic feel — peaches and pinks with a burst of intense red at her center, glowing against a very dark background. She is the light in the darkness. And what she doesn't realize is that she's absolutely captivating and perfect. Inside, she's insecure and self-critical, caring too much what people think — when she never needed to.
I myself hid, then peeked out, bracing to be judged — because I had been, constantly. I cared too much what people thought. I'd been told I was hideous so many times I believed it, and saw myself that way. But it was never true — I was beautiful the whole time, inside and out.
So if you're slowly unfolding, terrified of being seen and judged: you are beautiful just as you are, your authentic self.
