Iris The Fox
Personification Of Rainbows
The rainbow fox is the first painting I rendered after a 15 year hiatus from creativity. The name Iris originates from the daughter of Thaumas, she is a minor messenger to the Greek Gods. Iris was traditionally depicted in human female form with wings like a Christian type angel. I picked the fox form because in myth the fox often represents the female spirit. Rainbows are pure light translated through water that birth ordered bands of color from the heavens to earth. Much like the female human gives birth to a child, the spirit translated through the flesh.
Homeric poems she appears as the minister of the Olympian gods, who carries messages from Ida to Olympus, from gods to gods, and from gods to men. Iris primary functions are translated through taking her name apart, erô eirô; the voice that speaks, also eirô, "that which connects," together spells eirênê ; hence Iris, the goddess is the rainbow which translates light to a spectrum of colors, brings all the colors together and restores order and peace in nature.
I had to stop painting, there was no time for contemplating and creativity. All my energy went into learning new skill sets to survive after being a stay-at-home Mother and Wife until I turned 40 years old and divorced my 1st husband for being an abusive philanderer. I was willing to let him wander but couldn't stand his mean spirit, he was what I knew, just like my family. It's sad when people close to you label you crazy so they can treat you badly. After waking up to my role as a victim in my family I had to leave. My family didn't want me to quit the part. I packed up a few belongings in my little Ranger pickup and took off for the unknown. Leaving my ex husband and family forever. I've never looked back!

What a colorful cutie this fox 🦊 I always told my daughter that not every Zebra has to have black and white strips. Sometimes we can imagine colorful ones. She liked that story
Life is but a dream we can paint as we wish🌈, thank you @mammasitta
This is true, everything we experience comes from a dark place...lolol our brain is incased in darkness💀
I don't think so . I have seen crystal clear bright beauty as well
Just think about how light gets to our brain...firstly we don't truly see light, we see a reaction from objects hit with photons, this energy is translated through the optic nerve into electricity through a complex reaction of chemical mixtures in our body that produce the electric pluses that are transmitted to regions of the brain that translate the electrical pulses into images, which are then within 1/64 of a seconded filtered by our conditioning into forms we understand....hehe, as a child I often wondered how much my eyes made of clay are missing when they see what they are seeing.
