Black paint came first. Then I put speckles of gold paint on the canvas with the black. Someone said it looked very appealing in a strange way. This represented sin. But, I covered all the black and gold with bright red paint. The red overpowered the blackness and soon this…
Let Joy Arise
I painted two canvases side by side. The painting on the right was featured in my blog post, Defeating Lies. But, the painting seemed to express more joy when I turn it. So, I did. Joy I like the way more splashes of color stretch out showing the progression of…
