"Blue Flags & Peonies, Luke 12:34"

"Blue Flags & Peonies, Luke 12:34" captures a moment of domestic intimacy and serves as a visual reminder of spiritual prioritization, drawn from the verse: "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Set against the radiant, diffused light of the window, the fresh peonies and upright irises (blue flags) are painted with an ethereal softness, contrasting sharply with the contemplative darkness of the background. This arrangement—a fleeting collection of fragile, natural beauty—invites the viewer to pause and consider where true value lies. The light, which illuminates the clarity of the water and the delicate structure of the flowers, functions as an internal illumination, suggesting that the most precious treasures of the heart are often found not in accumulation, but in the beauty, simplicity, and quiet clarity of the present moment.
