Unlocking the Meaning Behind Alice, Her Animal Companions, And Their Significance
Alice is being watched by a fox and a raven in the painting to signify Mary Jean's style and inspiration. The artist uses these animals to show her sadness as well as hope. The fox symbolizes the artist's inner child and provides protection, which she needed when she was young. It took the artist one year of this canvas rotating on and off her easel to complete, during which time she thought about her childhood and was able to forgive past experiences. The raven, on the other hand, symbolizes the power of transformation and healing. It reminds viewers that even in the darkest times, there is still a way to find light and hope. By embracing these animals in her artwork, Mary Jean hopes to inspire people to be brave enough to confront their inner demons and find peace.
Ultimately, this painting speaks to the human spirit's strength and ability to overcome adversity. By understanding the significance of these animals, one can appreciate the complexity of this artwork even more and understand Mary Jean's heartfelt message that lies within. Alice in this painting reminds us that while some things can never be changed, we still have the power to create our own destinies. She is a symbol of strength and hope for all who view her.
