"All Of Me, Held By You”
Mary Jean Ruhnke
"All Of Me, Held By You” is about the kind of love that makes you feel safe enough to finally rest.
In the painting, a fox and crow sleep in the arms of a bear. I often depict myself as the fox and crow I paint. They are expressions of my sorrow, independence, inner-child and longing for connection. The bear in this work represents someone who came into my life and made those parts of me feel protected instead of guarded.
Around them are soft creatures and small symbols of love, creating a world where nothing needs to be defended.
The mixed media work is created on 24”x30”x1.5” canvas. Soon to be framed in a custom frame. Created in 2026.
Limited edition prints are available today along with the framed original.
