The Light of His Birth
Oil on Linen 40” x 40”

Isaiah 9:2— The people who walk in darkness will see a great light: Those who live in a dark land, the light will shine on them.

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.
