The lotus flower is symbolic of growth towards freedom and beauty. It's roots first grow through dark water and mud to finally reach up out of the water to bloom.  

I recently updated this design to the tie-dye and added a middle image which basically depicts that it's a journey to find yourself and your life passions.  It depicts the thoughts I had while painting "Morning Lotus."  I was inspired by a beautiful sunrise over a lake where I was at the time, on the literal and figurative road to gain experience with a new career in forestry.  This was a weekend job while studying for the degree and it was simply about navigating and getting out there into the woods with a gallon of paint.  It was a big shift into a career and life that felt a lot more inline with how I wanted to live, which is to serve and spend time appreciating and exploring Earth.
