Word to Canvas

I’ve never had one of my messages translated into a work of art before. Very cool.

This from the artist, my daughter Taylor:

I never showed you this. I did this painting based off your sermon from Westview and used Robert Motherwell’s theory of abstraction. So lust of the flesh became the fruit/female figure shapes. Lust of the eyes and pride of life are tied into the kingdom/building/root-esque black shapes. It’s not my favorite, but the point was to use a well known artists abstraction theory so that’s what I did. I like how they’re all kind of awkwardly connected and in these bright, happy colors because we love to mask how dark those things are.
