The dove a symbolic of the holy spirit. My light and guidance in my soul. When we are reborn through baptism we open the door to invite the holy spirit into our body where the holy spirit dwells in our soul. As believers of Jesus we welcome and learn how to listen to what the holy spirit of God is telling us or guiding us in our life and faith. This is a partial portion of a painting from Feb 2013. I painted this after attending a holy spirit empowerment session at my local church.
