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….
