The Nest
A new marriage is like a tiny nest of sticks and twigs. On the river of life, our relationships act as boats that keep us together as we travel along its meandering path. Through their journey, this couple will incorporate stronger supports and shelter into their fledgling nest until it will be able to withstand even the fiercest of storms.
The shore of the river of life abounds with signs that good fortune will accompany this newlywed couple throughout their journey. The lemon, abundant on a tree, is a universal symbol of marital happiness, while the oranges signify that they hope to start a family. The white lilies are an indication of purity and virtue and the orchids represent perfection. Peace and friendship in the family are to be expected as a pair of swallows blesses this couple with their presence.
The Nest is not the first time James Christensen has focused his brush on the institution of marriage. The Bride, a highly popular and sold out edition, was of a similar theme. This is the ideal gift for the newlyweds in your life.
