Description
This is an abstract impressionism oil painting, taken to my purple depths and heights.My soul,from the beginning of memory, for me...a 'wild thing'.
"You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself." copyright: Truman Capote
Jenny Joseph..”And when i get old, I shall wear purple” .Which I do ,,!!
Biblical meaning of the color purple
In the King James Bible, the word 'purple' occurs forty-eight times, of which nine are in the New Testament. The Hebrew Old Testament word translated as this color is argaman (Strong's Concordance #H713). The three Greek New Testament words used are porphura (#G4209), which refers to the animal from which the color is extracted, porphurous (#G4210), which is the color's literal name and porphuropolis (#G4211), which is a reference to a female trader of the dye. Its use in Scripture lends itself to symbolically meaning royalty, majesty and high officials (Judges 8:26, Esther 8:15) as well as wealth, prosperity and luxury (Exodus 28:5, Ezekiel 27:7, Proverbs 31:22, Song of Solomon 3:10, 7:5, Luke 16:19, Acts 16:14, Revelation 17:4, 18:12, 16).
