The Nest - newlyweds on the river of life by artist James Christensen available from Snow Goose Gallery.

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.
