I have called this cycle of paintings from words from the Holy Scriptures, Hymn of Love: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
“ ... Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”
When we endure all this together with a loved one, love becomes stronger and is more valued. Like gold which must be melted 7 times before it becomes real gold, it remains forever.
