Psalm 103 tells us a lot about God's love, so it was difficult to choose which aspect to paint. I really found it uplifting, so I hope that you will take the time to read it as well. I got the dandelion idea from verses 15 and 16 which mention man being like a flower of the field, flourishing for a time but then passing away. This image contrasts with the next verse which talks about God's love being everlasting. Psalm 103 also talks about the width and depth of God's love being as high as the heavens, so I wanted to include some distance and sky over the field.

The colours in the painting turned out to be so pale and delicate that I'm not sure it has as grand an impact on the viewer asit should, for the idea it's portraying. I started by painting the sky, then worked my way forward to the field, blending the colours while the paint was still wet, and then the fluffy flower last. This is the same way I would paint a body of water.
