“And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers or water……..”
While listening to a sermon at church, the pastor’s message was on positioning and being rightly located. One of his reference scripture was the above Psalm and verse. I was immediately inspired to paint this image. Acrylic on canvas 24×30.
Further WIP of "Roots & Branches"
I have never blogged on WIPs, but there is always a first time for everything. As with all art work, words conjure up images, “Roots & Branches” did just that.
Here I have looked at the phrase in terms of how we are as human in our diversity, and migration.
Absolutely no one on this planet is indigenous to the area we currently are, should we trace our family tree, there was migration to some extent, whether continental, local, or regional, we all follow the “herd”. You may have lived on main st, somewhere all your life, and have been there with your parents, but check to see how your grandparents, got there. Maybe by foot, horse drawn buggy, boat, car, or plane, yes we are all scattered seeds with a connection.
We migratre, marry inter-racially, combine cultures, customs, ethnic traditions, and religious beliefs which produces diversity.
This is the first in a two part painting of “Roots & Branches”, comments are welcome.
