A Painting Story: Tears From Heaven
“Tears From Heaven”, Acrylic on muslin, 36” x 60”, Wynne Leung, 2019
This is a story about a girl. Inside that girl is another one who couldn’t stop crying.
Her tears seeped into the ground and over years made rivers and waterfalls. Her tears grew beautiful flowers, trees and vegetation. Soon, mountains were filled with beautiful flowers, bees and furry friends. Fish swam through the rivers covered with flowers.
The scent of flowers blossoming emitted through her face and skin. People who passed by can feel and smell the aura of being alive - of being able to cry for the entire world. Strangers came and hugged her and she never knew why. Travelers she met in different places would open up to her and tell her deep stories and she also never knew why. But she listened and felt for them.
She also never knew until this painting was made that the years of crying that is what birthed a magical place filled with colorful fresh flowers, tress and a never ending supply of water.
She stopped feeling ashamed of feeling her emotions deeply and embraced this beautiful place that was created inside of her. She can finally feel proud to share her inner world with others.
