The Invitation is a painting quite close to my heart. So here is what it means to me. If you notice most of the painting is clouded. Several layers reveal on small moments of what lies beneath. When the clouds give way over these small areas, we see this there is clarity underneath it all.
I guess we can all choose between staying in the muck, staying confused is safer, it is comfortable. It may not be what you wanted, but at least you know it. Moments appear from time to time to reveal small snapshots of what could be if there one dares to go beneath the surface. Face the unknown and breath freely in a new landscape.
To the left of the painting is an area of white. To the left of that is a figure which is beckoning. "Come. Come to a new landscape within yourself. It is waiting, always." The invitation is the calling to the new and greater part of ourselves always waiting to be discovered. There is nothing greater than the greater part of you.
