Description

There is something about urban street art that really speaks to me. It has it's own way of saying the ordinary. So I challenged myself to use my inner street sm"arts" to create this painting.

My goal was to give new life to this passage from the bible, give people a new way to look at God's word...give them a new angle and something to ponder.

Most of my newer art, including this piece, is "upcycled". Taking trash or disguarded items and giving them a new life. For isn't that what God has done in each one of us!

This painting is done in acrylic paints on canvas and wood. The canvas (left overs from another project) is wrapped around a flat cabinet door. A hole was cut in the canvas to show the wood beneath where the scripture is written. I do not use any stencils for the lettering. It is all hand done.

Full size is 21"x 31.5". Ready to hang.
