This painting is very special to me. Related to “Vow”, “With This Ring” symbolizes promises, bonds, and dedication. The ring, occurred naturally when I created this piece. A symbol that links extend much further than “blood”, into the realm of the soul; sometimes no matter what the cost. What courses through our veins that truly keeps us alive is much more valuable than mere blood.
