This painting follows a previous large format entitled ''Lucky''.

The character finds itself at the precipice of Life, thrust into a journey of self exploration, leading towards that which is unattainable: enlightenment.
The story of ''Lucky 2'' is about transformation, we may see ourselves or a situation in only one way until something jostles our focus. At that point, a all new world comes into view. The primitive human/animal/flower creature is rooting herself and her head is a fully bloomed red tulip.

Although different tulip colors carry different meanings, a Turkish legend may be responsible for the red tulip's symbolism.
The story goes that a prince named Farhad was love struck by a maiden named Shirin. When Farhad learned that Shirin had been killed, he was so overcome with grief that he killed himself, riding his horse over the edge of a cliff. It is said that a scarlet tulip sprang up from each droplet of his blood, giving the red tulip the meaning ''perfect love''.

''I look out of this window and I think this is a cosmos, this is a huge creation, this is one small corner of it. The trees and birds and everything else and I am part of it. I did not ask to be put there, I have been lucky in finding myself here.'' Morris West.
