With this painting, I tried an animal for the first time. Also making the background in three pieces instead of all together. I’m hoping it gives a bit of interest. This is based on the donkey at our local petting park. On to the thought. . .
Soon after leaving bondage in Egypt, the Israelite people got thirsty and complained. God instructed Moses to strike the rock at Horeb to get water for the people, and Moses did. And there was water for everyone. (Exodus 17:6)
This a a painting of the first image I saw from the James Webb Space Telescope. One of my thoughts was that we can keep looking farther and farther into space, but God is farther still. We can’t ever get to the end of God.
Psalm 139:8 If I ascend to heaven, You are there If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.
Corrie Ten Boom - There is no pit so deep that God’s love is not deeper still.
It is amazing to me that such a big God would want to make and have a relationship with each one of us. He made this little sphere we call home and put us on it, as well as all we would need to live here. For those of us going to heaven, eternity will not be long enough to explore all of Who God is. What an awesome God!
In reading Genesis again, chapter 4 verse 22 popped out at me. It says that Tubal-Cain was a forger of all implements of bronze and iron. This was just seven generations after Adam. Very early on people were making and using tools out of metals, not just wood and rock.
When I came up with doing this painting, the cloud was going to be the main thought. I had struggles getting it right, so now the focus is the process.
