Creativity

"God creates ~ us in His image ~ so we create."

The adventure will be to paint this in acrylic on a four-foot canvas-covered disc before its unveiling at the Bethel Church Bazaar in Redding, December 3. This original is only 8.8 inches square, in water-based ink and india ink on watercolor paper. The 4' painting will rotate around its center about 3 inches from the wall, and may even have some rainbow fabric attached to its edge to enhance its mobility.

“Uunh!”

 
Seth would grunt this while taking a joyful warrior stance when he wanted to emphasize something he was sharing. He and his Bethel Church team were encouraging and edifying our congregation, New Song. I had been wondering for weeks of how to illustrate a wonderful song lyric describing God: “clothed in rainbows.”  Seth, his smile and his stance became my model for the Spirit that breaks through. My colors flew as I listened.
