Description
The Calanit, Israel’s national flower. I see this flower every winter and it always brings a smile to my face. This bright red blossom is a symbol of beauty, resilience, and deep-rooted heritage. As I painted its delicate red petals, I felt a connection to the land and the history of my people. The Calanit flourishes across Israel, from the hills of Jerusalem to the open fields of the Negev, just as the Jewish spirit has endured and thrived throughout generations. Its vibrant red reminds me of the sacrifices made to preserve our homeland, while its graceful presence reflects the joy and renewal found in our traditions. Through this painting, I celebrate the unwavering bond between the Jewish people and the land of Israel, where even the smallest flowers tell a story of strength and hope.
