I finished this painting last night to donate to the Children's Grief Center's annual fundraiser auction called Healing Hearts.  Without an explanation, I would like to know if you can easily interpret the symbolism.  If you would take the time to comment, I would greatly appreciate it.   Oil, 8x16.  Thank you.

Kim...this is really nice...and I think easily interpreted by both adults and children. Perfect for a hospital
or other such place...where one is left to sit and wait too long.

I love this, it certainly shows the process from brokeness to wholeness.

I'm not sure it is intended, but I like the progression of dark to light you've placed in the left to right squares. there is a parallell that as hearts are healed they also move from darkness to light. Many might not see that aspect, but as a Christian, it caught my eye immediately. Good job.

River, Dawn and Peggy - you got it! I'm so glad. Peggy, I'm a Christian also, and I'm delighted that you picked up on the progression of the squares/windows- they are done that way intentionally.

Thank you all for the compliments and for taking time to look.
