Vessels
This piece was inspired by a meditation on the blessing of water turned to wine during the wedding at Cana. Jesus turns my water into wine regularly. Just when I think my vessel is empty, all poured out, the last drop wrung from me, I am surprised by the abundance which fills my spirit. I loved portraying the depth and the richness of color in this painting. I think it manifests the burst of flavor from a good South African dry red. This was painted during a two day retreat to a bush camp at Itezhi Tezhi, Zambia. It is a completely imaginary still life.
