This painting i started to paint some years ago, but never had the time and the courage to finish it. But now i've started painting again and can't be stopped so to speak ;-), i finally hope to finish this painting in some days. Sorry for the bad reproduction, i'll ask a good friend of mine to make better pictures in the future. But i wanted to upload this already haha.It's a large painting; heigth 110 cm and width 130 cm. There's much too see on this painting. I call it the pomegranate. Because of the many symbolic meanings it contains. In a nutshell: The Christian symbolic of the pomegranate is resurrection. In ancient times it stands for fertility. And in the old Greek myths it's all about Persephone and the underworld. I like this one the most by the way. But i mixed all those symbolic meanings together to create my own mythological language. It speaks about good or bad, guilt and innocence, love, hope, fears, blood. All my favourite topics. If you take a good look at my painting you will find many references.

You my love are absolutely amazing.
Your talent just jumps off of the page.
Love Renee xoxo
I have been peeking at your blog for a little while -- so beautiful... and so much to look at. Oh, there is so so much in this painting -- amazing!
Love this piece!
Seriously ..... you have no reason to feel insecure!! You are an amazing artist.... very talented!!
it is great how rich in details it can be !!!
I also love this piece. Very happy you went back to it. a piece i am sure one could spend time with discovering new things.
It´s very impressive and strong, full of ideas translated into painting, figures, colours. Everything is rich and intense.
I agree with all the above, Momo. The detail is amazing.
Creative people often doubt themselves. Take your fears as a measure of your talent.
We outside who look on, can comfortably say , you have nothing to fear but you're the one who has to do all this wonderful work.
And it is wonderful.
It's impressive Monica! Terrific, I love the title of it, curious to see how you'll approach it now after years of 'abandoning' it ;) painting-wise, I mean.
Bin ganz begeistert, von den Formen und Farben und den Geschichten.
Bin sehr interessiert und habe mich als Leserin eingetragen.
Lieben Gruß

Makes one wonder what was going on when it was begun. Wonderful confusion, wonderful chaos. -Jayne
ps.I'm finding it hard to read the light brown on brown...
I hope that you are now well enough to go back to your artwork. Revisiting a previously started work can be invigorating...as time passes you have more to bring to a work...like editing.
Thank you for sharing this impressive production.
Wow, what an expressive thing, this painting is! I send you good vibes and passion and energy to go on with it, it's fascinating!
love
Andrea
Hi Yvette,
ik hoop dat het goed met je gaat.
Dagdag! :-)
Thank you Jayne,
at that time i was young(er), restless and trying to combine memories with myths, icons etc.... Trying to find some structure in the chaos called life. :-)
I shall make the letters darker, please let me know if that makes any difference.
Hi Patricia,
you are so right, now i have find the peace and trust in myself to finish this work. Didn't happen yet though 'cause my body is a bit rebellious at the moment haha. But at the end of november it will be finished. That's my goal.
Thank you for your kind words.
Tnx Andrea, i can feel the good vibes and it makes me smile.
Love and good vibes back for you.
My dear friend, thank you for your sincere love and support that you offer me. Your friendship is as generous as your art.
Love Renee xoxo
Heel goed werk
