Hills of the Lord's House
for December 3, 2013
8" x 10" oil on linen
Traveling from town to town for our ancestors was a beautiful thing --no
billboards, just gorgeous scenes, one after the other. Not that it
wasn't difficult or dangerous, but generally it was a wonderful visual
experience. And Imagine the night sky without light contamination like
we have now! So I'll produce these little landscapes as interludes
between our bigger themes, and hope you enjoy them and can imagine
yourself on the road between towns and villages in the hills our Lord
once experienced, enjoying the sights of earth and sky.
On another note --I'd like to give you a heads-up on what is coming next Sunday, December 8. I'll
show you some prelimininary sketches in the next few days of my plan, but let's just
say it involves a member of the church named Joseph and has to do with
the visitation of the angel to another Joe, as told in Gospel of
Matthew. That is an overlooked artistic opportunity!
