Getting the tone right, the hardest part. Mood crucial.

Colour, colour, colour. What looks right, what feels right. Recoloured many times.

Had the basic images in my head. But no idea as to colour scheme.

Here Comes Trouble.

Had the idea of waterfall and that's it. River of Life. Then it was get paint on the canvas and see what happens

Another waterfall came into my mind, and the idea of the garden of Eden. Or, as it was in the beginning. Perfect, and then the Fall.

The Fig Tree.

Initially, the swing was going to be metal and white. Then I thought, if Jesus was to make a swing He would make it out of wood.

I get bored easily, so it was hard to decide to paint the swing as wood rather than white metal, which did not look right. Wood representing Yeshua's nature, and workmanship; carpentry and building. The word tecton, which is described His work, meant builder, not just carpentry.

I always struggle with seeing the end when painting. So its as I paint that things happen. I do not know what colour or what effect to create, its as if each brush stroke leads to the next. As a good friend of mine would say. Just get the paint on the paper.

Then, the overall theme for the painting was inspired by Isaiah 40, verse 31. Those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength, they will soar aloft as on eagles wings etc

This painting was first inspired by the tepuis of South America

This painting came quickly. The ideas were already in my head. Pure symbolic representation of salvation and what the cross meant.

What did evolve was the detail of each symbolic representation. as well as coming across things that were, for me, God inspired.

My first attempt at large acrylic painting. google says everything and nothing about how to start. Just learn myself, and trial and error. Deeper learning, and you make mistakes that can be brilliant.

It was just before dawn. So eventually I decided it would have been night. Anyway, I did not like the sunrise, for me it did not work. So trying to stay factual as well as getting the feel of the scene.

Still playing with the sunrise theme, but it looked more like a face, and whilst I could have tweaked it, the sunrise thing did not do it for me.
