This painting began as a live performance painting at the Hope for the Holidays gathering for anyone grieving the loss of a loved one, at Calvary Church, December 15, 2018. Later completed in studio. Click here for the before picture!
Based on the famous quote "A candle loses nothing when it lights another candle" I hope it is a reminder of the importance of giving/ building each other up/ being part of a community, because by connecting with others healing can come to oneself.
The candle concept is also to illustrate the remembrance of how a lost loved one lit up your life, and their influence continues to burn brightly and carry on in others.
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God. (Psalms 42:11)
In sort of a smoky starburst above the candles there is a portrait of Jesus with his arm around a child, reinforcing that our true hope is found in Him.
