Heart Reflections

BumberShootStudio Paintings
My very first apartment was mostly decorated with hearts. I loved what they represented. We've seen all sorts of pictures portraying what the heart looks like. Everything from simple drawings to detailed photographs. Even now I love painting them, just like this one in the side box.

Hearts are a symbol we often use when showing feelings of love and romance, we give these images to parents, children and lovers.

People are described by what type of heart they have as well...said to be 'good-hearted' or have a 'heart of gold.' Let's not forget the 'bleeding hearts' of the world and how life would be boring without them.

But it is also out of the heart that evil proceeds, it can be deceitful and desperately wicked. This particular imagery though, is not what's commonly illustrated. Most of us would not pick up a greeting card with such dark sentiments.

The real-estate of our heart is priceless, valued beyond measure, yet we allow it to be plundered and poisoned so easily. Guard your hearts above all else...because that which resides therein is what will determine the course of your life.
