THe windswept collection
“My days are like a lengthening shadow, and I wither away like grass. But you, LORD, are enthroned forever; your fame endures to all generations.” Psalm 102: 11-12
This collection grew out of my love for the grasslands and prairie ditches. There is a sense of wildness and beauty within the landscape, and I tried to capture that through color, swift brushstrokes, and the texture of the rough handmade paper. The reminder from the Psalms that our life is also like the grass - temporary - and in contrast the Lord remains unchangeable and his Word will last forever. May these paintings remind you of this truth when you look at them in your own home, of the steadfast love of the Lord.
“As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more. But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him.”
Psalm 103: 15-17
