Description
Taken from my blog:
I was going through some paintings in my studio and stumbled upon this one that I had done some time ago. I had initially put it aside calling it a �WIP� and had fully intended to go back and do more work on it but never did. I�d shown it as a WIP to some arteeeest friends who had liked it very much �as is� and then just rolled it up and forgot about it. It�s huge�not exactly sure off hand how large but it�s on unstretched canvas�.I�d say about 4ft X 5ft. What this piece represents is (and I remember painting it during one of those dry spiritual periods when I was trying desperately to pray but just couldn�t find the words) our prayers, which are sometimes nothing more than moans and groans�.but are interpreted for us by the Holy Spirit giving us a direct and uninterrupted line to our Father. This happens often during our times of spiritual emptiness when we are reaching out to God and the words just don�t come. For those of you who are Christians, you will know this scripture from the Bible: Romans 8:26 (New International Version) �In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.� Anyway, when I pulled the painting out this morning, I decided that just as Jesus said on the cross, �it is finished�.....and would like to share it with you all. Never stop talking to God, He always hears�.even the moans and groans! Be Blessed.

This is lovely. It reminds me of the verse that describes our prayers as wafting up like incense to the Father. Beautiful to look at and an even more beautiful expression of the Grace and Mercy He pours out on us.

Thank you so much Bruce for your kind words. Just sold the original of this painting last month and it was very hard to part with. Be blessed!

More. I especially like the bottom and the vague figures. I have often worked with similar sorts of suggestions of figures, haven't posted much. But the colors there are so right and especially for the upper visionary part.

Thank you so very much for the long explanation and background in the Discussion section, Ruth. I like this painting very much, and was moved the moment I saw it in the Sales section. I feel it so special, too. And I am glad that you decided to show it as it is. I would not change a thing.
