Description
This acrylic painting is titled Dawn Sanctuary. It's a 30" x 40" highly textured stretched canvas. It took about 4 or 5 days to do from start to finish. The life preserver ring on the larger craft reads, "IHS", "Hegerthe", "Alpha Omega" i.e, the first three Greek alphabet letters of the name "Jesus", the Koine Greek word meaning "He is Risen", then the First and Last letters of the Greek alphabet suggesting Christ as the the Word of God from the beginning and Who is firstborn risen from the dead and Who is the last and only one ever to satisfy the redemption price of salvation and Who is ultimately the final purpose of all creation. The lesser craft is named "Faithful". The boat is one of Christianity's most ancient symbols representing the church as the means ordained by God to carry us through life's troubled seas to the shores of Paradise. Of course the three masts echo the crosses of Good Friday on Mount Calvary. And both vessels anchored securely wait vigilantly for the approaching New Day. Although it's a painting loaded with spiritual symbolism intended for those who seek it, it holds its own simply as maritime art.
