Marriage of the Soul, a watercolor painting I did ages ago, that still speaks to me. The fairy honors the leopard with her fairy dust, to celebrate the beast, the beast looks at her lovingly. Red roses, a symbol of true love surrounds them in the mystery of the dark night. If we could learn to embrace and love all of ourselves we would have a more harmonious world.

The way you threaded the symbolic through with actual affection, the leopard's gaze back at her isn't just receiving the blessing, it's reciprocating something. That last line about embracing all of ourselves lands differently when the piece already showed it instead of just illustrating the idea. Watercolor from ages ago that still speaks usually means you painted past the concept into something that moves on its own.
