After studying this painting for awhile, it most reminds me of passion. The Lord loves passion. Passion for Him. Passion for doing His will. Passion for what He's done for us. Passion for our dreams. Passion for everything good and God! I love the colors of this piece and I can get lost in it.
The first inspiration I received for this painting was dreams and hope. I see the Glory of the Lord in the orange streaming from heaven with the green in the middle as growth. I think the Lord seeds a dream in us, waits for us to sow into it, and then blesses us! After feeling like the colors were to be "spring-y" and full of hope, I felt Him show me blue splots, top middle, (revelation) and the tree.
In revising, I emphasized the tree more and added much more color and excitement to the painting over all. I've finished the edges and it is done!
Done during worship on March 15th, I felt the Lord saying that we are being sent. So this represents us, God's people, bringing treasures from heaven to earth. Hence, we are flying out the doors, represented by the sides. The colors are new and quite uncomfortable to me, so I struggled a lot afterwards with the painting. It has been suggested that when I struggle painting, it reflects the struggle involved in the prophecy. And it is often a struggle, not only to grasp heaven's vision, but to then "do." Interestingly, my good friend sees this painting as an unfolding from heaven, with treasures in the wings, reflecting, I think, the same vision but from a different perspective. Her title wins. :)
The idea for this painting came from some paint jars. After completing the painting, God told me it was the land of "Milk and Honey." I like this! Probably because I was reading Exodus at the time.
God gave me this painting early one morning. Sometimes He does that. :) I don't work in red much, but it reminds me so much of the Lord's love and faithfulness.
One of the fun things about these paintings is that the Lord will speak different things to different people at different times, so please comment on the paintings! Original paintings and prints are for sale on myweb site.

Welcome!
I have been painting for 20 years. After a prophecy in Brazil, I explored painting during worship, explored a new style and have been blessed in this new adventure!
These paintings have been done during worship, either personal or corporate. Some are prophetic, others are what the Lord is giving to me while in His presence and painted later.
