Epiphany 

“Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it; let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them.  Then all of the forest will sing for joy; they will sing before the Lord, for he comes , he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his truth” (Psalm 96:11-13)

Did you guys see it… “Then all of the forest will sing for joy…”  The trees will sing! There are other passages that relate to this in the Bible but they have never jumped off the page like this to me before.  

Perhaps it is because I have been working on a close up of tree branches which can come out compositionally as an abstract…

When I read this passage, I looked at my tree paintings and I finally saw it… the Rhythm of Trees… my close up forest paintings resemble sheet music notes turned vertically!!!

I was so excited when I finally saw this!!!  As I said in my newsletter, I have been knee deep in scripture and I have lost count of all the  passages of scripture pointing me again and again and again to T R E E S  & W A T E R.  

I will dig into the seeds of inspiration I have found in my January Journal… stay close.  

Love,
