Fabric Of Life
Seems like forever since I've posted anything; I've been busy with a personal project all winter. This is another experiment with mixed media using inks, stamps, stencils and acrylics that I painted last fall. The cross is interwoven and embedded in a quilt like fabric image which represents the busy, distracting, conflicting, yet beautiful life around us. I see this as the workings of Christ embedded in life and cannot be separated. The many names of Jesus are added here and there throughout this piece. This is a God inspired image as the idea came to me clearly one day and as I worked it just fell into place; that rarely happens as I usually have to dig long and deep when not working with realism. I'm so pleased with this image that I would love to see this piece reworked on a large scale. The original piece is 11x14 inches on stretched canvas.

ReplyDeleteDeborah, Star (Homes) Lyn here from Central High. This is absolutely beautiful. As my husband and I are both Christian Pastors, and myself being an artist as well, we fell in love with your work, especially this beautiful piece. I love the way you have added a narrative to each piece giving it more character and purpose. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful works. Keep it up. You make all of us Bobcats proud!
