The Journey (Seeing God’s glory)

Acrylic paint on canvas, lined with Micron ink pens

24”x48”

The dove represents Jesus Christ, guiding her on her journey, and the snake is a representation of the enemy, who reminds us of our past (The old self). The tree roots below are our roots in Christ as our foundation, and He is building us up in His likeness throughout our lives, and the purple ribbon she has in her hair becomes a covering for her that hides her shame. The gold clouds and leaves are the Holy Spirit moving us along like the wind. In the final panel, the dove symbolizes the cross, how Jesus died for our sins and rose again to give us new life.
