White pure love or a bride in the wedding night

I've made this painting starting from an older painting, a painting I've made 10 years ago, a painting of a dream of love in white, the color of purity. I still have that painting and I cannot drop it to the trash can be cause even if it is not a masterpiece it means so much to me be cause it brings back the feeling I had when I've made it and I can see more in this painting than someone else, I can see the image that was there in my mind when I've made it, a beautiful young lady standing naked in a white bed with flowers all around her and sweet cream on her breast waiting to be kissed softly a delicate bride in her wedding night, so beautiful, so sensual, it makes me want to be there next to her. I wish she was my bride

Sad bride

Sad bride, painting

This is my painting of a bride who is sad be cause she had to marry a man she doesn't love. She is looking back at the love she had to leave behind and crying. Unfortunately many women were forced into marriage in the past and even now there are places in this world where women cannot live their lives the way they want to. There were long periods of time when women had no right to decide about their own life and no freedom to choose. They were sold and used like objects or animals, used for procreation and raped by the men they were forced to live their lives with. Some of these brides committed suicide while others lived a life of misery and sadness. I start being sad to when I thing how sad it was the life of a woman in the past.
