I did this painting for Traders Point Christian Church. It was meant to be a symbol of what God's grace looks like in our lives. Our pastor, Aaron Brockett is doing a four week series on Gods grace called, "Oceans of Grace". Stop by this Sunday to hear the first of this four week series and see my painting in person! 9 am or 11 am

Metaphorically, water is one of the best symbols of God's grace. Water is used as a symbol of our new life in Him beginning with baptism. His forgiveness powerfully washes over us daily. In this work, the depths of our brokenness and sin are shown through establishing a turbulent, textured background using different textiles and papers. Thankfully, our lives don't have to stay in this broken state, which is why the work is overlaid with a calm blue, symbolic of God's grace that washes over us and reminds us that He is in control. He makes everything new.
