Abundance By Debbie Arambula

This piece was inspired during the financial crash of 2007 to 2011 when people were losing their homes left and right and large companies like Hewlett Packaged were laying people off.

Silicon Valley was suffering like most of the world; you could just feel the sadness in the air. The unspoken attitude was "the sky is falling" and it permeated throughout the world like a black plague & we all thought we might never recover from.

This painting flew out of me like a bird trapped in a cage with a doors wide open. Abundance is in each of us, it’s in our attitude, our viewpoints, our opinions, our decisions, our thoughts & our actions; the door can be open or closed in any one’s mind. And changes in life can hold an abundant of possibilities or a trap to sadness and the design is all in the eye of the beholder. 

The choice to live a happy life, have a happy relationship, live ones dreams lies right between ones ears. The plain truth given the correct tools for life, Abundance is simple when you’re connected to your heart and when you shut out the negative thoughts in order to create the life you desire.

The hearts that surround the outside of the heart represent family, friends, and the two red hearts in the center could be you and your mom, best friend, hubby, wife, sister… arm and arm, side by side and together we can get through anything.

You are abundantly beautiful, abundantly full of love, strength and the power to living in abundance is within all of us. At least that’s how I see it.
