It can be about making choices in life, each choice being a doorway to a different outcome. An opportunity to change your path or outcome and a reminder that we make choices every day that ripple out. There are 4 doorways in this painting, but so many more in real life! 

Most people have a “goal” of happiness or love or acceptance, maybe success..but we all have something we reach for and need. We take different opportunities (doors) to achieve what we want; some are right, but sometimes we see through rose-coloured glasses or there's a barrier (the pink shape) in our way…but we keep trying different doorways. There are many influences around us, both external and internal and these are shown here by the lines and dots moving in and around the doorways ...but we have choices.  The symbolic sun and moon shapes indicate the passing of time.

"THE DIAMOND WITHIN"  We all have one, but do we keep it hidden behind a protective barrier, or do we share it so that it opens doors to new relationships and experiences? 

ONLY the original is available, as the gold and other pearlescent effects do not print well.
