Painted last night at the 6:30 St. Andrews service. I've decided to call these collages, 5 to date, my "Water and the Word" series because I'm using watercolor on top of heavy watercolor paper which I've previously gessoed and "scriptured" (my new art term for pasting scripture on paper, canvas or anything else I want to paint on). With these paintings, I've either (1) received an image or thought and then searched for related scripture or (2) received the word or scripture first, then decided how to interpret that through image, color and line.
The scripture is 1 Kings 7:15-22 about the 2 pillars standing out in front of the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. Each pillar had a name: "Boaz" probably meaning (from the NIV notes) "in him is strength" and "Jakin" probably meaning "he establishes." At one point during the service, Dwight Huthwaite, our worship leader, felt that we were to pray for leaders, and I felt a connection between the prayer and the artwork. I believe that true leaders are established only by God. And the wise leader realizes that to truly lead, he can never rely on his own strength, he must rely on God's strength.
