Color is an amazing thing. We relish its vibrancy, its intensity. Our bodies respond to color,
affecting our emotions and sometimes how we perceive the world. The attributes of paint
allow us to explore one color in relation to another. Discoveries we make as we use the
brush to push paint around our canvas provide lessons in harmony, balance, and
relationships. Painting is rewarding and challenging. May the lessons continue
as we explore our world of color.

"DANIEL in the LIONS' DEN"   16 x 20   Acrylic
 

 

The sixth chapter of the book of Daniel in the Bible records the drama of Daniel being thrown into the lions' den as punishment for something his enemies schemed to betray him. Put yourself in Daniel's shoes and consider what thoughts might be going through your mind as you face these beasts. Daniel trusted God to protect him and that is what happened. It was a testimony not only to his generation but to all the generations since then. This was a fun painting to portray (since it had drama and animal's faces with different expressions). There's a contrast of textures, colors, and shapes.
