49 paintings, approximately 35 months, and a lot of paint.
I've never blogged before; I had (and have, frankly) little interest in reading blogs, so it's not as if I expect or hope for anyone to read mine. But this blog has a very specific purpose. I won't be talking about my life - as if anyone truly wants to read about that - but rather a 49-canvas painting project that I've estimated should take around 35 months to complete. Of course, it could be longer, it could be shorter (God willing, shorter). But whatever the outcome, my desire is to paint until it is clear that I can do no better (which could take a very, very long time, logically). Over the past couple months, through prayer and cautious hopes, God has increasingly impressed upon my heart the excitement and determination to paint Revelation in such a way that it might be beautifully understood. How? I eagerly await that answer as well. I look forward to seeing what He will do with my hands and paint brushes.
This blog is for the purpose of documenting my journey in painting 49 scenes from the book of Revelation. My thought processes, new ideas, accountability perhaps, pictures of each of the paintings as they are finished, descriptions and verse references, and what I learn or what is revealed to me, I will share. I welcome comments, ideas, and questions alike. Walk alongside me in this, pray if you are willing - or merely watch it happen from afar. But if you pray, I ask that you pray for the power of the Holy Spirit and the Majesty of God, to be imbued in these paintings - that all who see them might be given certain understanding upon a glance, which is something that only the power of the Holy Spirit can give. I ask that you pray for our fellow sleepers to be awakened at last.
"
For this reason,
because I have heard of
your faith in the Lord
Jesus and your love toward all the saints,
I do not cease to give thanks for you,
remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you
the Spirit of wisdom and
of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the
eyes of your hearts enlightened, that
you may know what is the
hope to which he has called you, what are the
riches of his
glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the
immeasurable greatness of his power toward
us who believe,
according to the working of
his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the
heavenly places,
far above all rule and authority and
power and
dominion, and
above every name that is named,
not only in this age
but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the
fullness of him who fills all in all." Ephesians 1:15-23
