Conceptual paintings are not my forte, but lately I've been thinking about a prayer from the Psalm 43. The psalmist was asking for direction - and asked for a lamp, a compass and a map. There are times in life when finding true north is not always evident. So I decided to put my thoughts down in a painting just for myself. I don't think it's quite finished, but here it is in process. I'll sit with it here for a few days and listen to what it tells me it needs. You would be surprised that a painting does know what it needs and has a way of letting you know. Someone once said "
Paintings don’t really end, they just arrive at interesting places to stop."
