Spring Forth
Spring Forth - acrylic on canvas, 36 x 36 inches
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!

I can't wait to see what this painting ends up like. It reminds me of an oasis in a desert- the living water there for us when we need it most.
This one reminds me of the parable of the "Fig Tree".
An oasis in the desert - makes me think of Jonah 4:5 where God grew a tree to shade him in the desert. The Lord so often shades us! Hoping the fig tree is a fruitful one!
