Description
Walnut Ink, Watercolor, Copper Leaf
A commissioned Illuminated Manuscript for a client featuring a poem he wrote for his wife. I've been working on this for about a month. I attempted to incorporate traditional medieval symbolism that pertained to the subject matter of the poem, some of these symbols are:
Owl-revelation/wisdom from the Holy Spirit
Cardinal- blood of Christ
Ivy- Eternal Life
Red and Pink Carnations- Married Love
Lilies- Purity of heart
Bees- Eloquence
Pomegranates- Unity
Ladybugs- Trust
Oak Leaves- Endurance/Strength of Faith
Colors:
Orange- Courage
Brown- Humility
Green- Abundance
Because of its size, it has been difficult for me to get a good photo. I will also upload some closeups of the details.

Wow, what a beautiful piece. I think you did a great job reflecting the spirit of the poem in the symbols that you chose.
