prophecy of hope

Just so you don't think I've been slacking on this Art of Christmas project, here's a shot of my work in progress, which I'm calling "Prophecy of Hope" based on Isaiah 11:1. You can read more about this piece at my Wanderings blog.

I'm also hoping to get more images and details about artworks when the show goes up - next week!

the light of Christ

This week we get to see another artist's piece, nearly finished! Randy Blasquez creates wonderful oil paintings and tells us about her approach to this project:

For my piece for the show, I felt drawn to the idea of the Light of Christ. Originally I was envisioning a large abstract piece with a scripture written within the piece. Something with clouds showing the light of the Messiah. I was feeling that connection to His Light at the beginning, while he was in the womb through to His Birth. Then somehow the two ideas came together when I read this verse and I painted this ocean scene.

THE PEOPLE WALKING IN DARKNESS HAVE SEEN A GREAT LIGHT  (Isaiah 9:2)

I’ve been working on some ideas to get the lettering onto the canvas so a viewer can walk up to the painting and read the verse….
