Sometimes the Spirit Touches Us Through Our Weaknesses by fantasy artist James Christensen

 
Sometimes the Spirit Touches Us Through Our Weakness by James Christensen
 
" This work shows a hunchback, an Everyman, being visited by an angel and receiving the message that we grow through adversity -- we can make our weaknesses into strengths. The hunchback had been seated on a box inscribed with a Latin phrase that translates literally as "after clouds, sun" -- the equivalent of "look for the silver lining." He is lifted skyward by the spirit, smiles as he sees that lining. His burden, like all of ours, will be lightened.
 
The deceptively simple composition of this James C. Christensen Anniversary Edition contains many of the artist’s most defining elements and inspiration: the hunchback, the light of the spirit, the checkerboard floor representing the opposing aspects of life—light and dark, yin and yang— and a doorway to the unknown … combine to convey a story of  hope, recovery and new growth.
