Stuff of Earth 3. 11×14″ Oil on Panel. September 2015. $250
In a small village in Yunnan, China, a woman rummages through fabric at an outdoor market. I saw a lot of beauty in the mundane errand she was checking off her to do list. Echoes of Rich Mullins’ lyrics run through this piece: “There’s more that dances on the prairies than the wind, more that pulses in the ocean than the tide. There’s a love that is fiercer than the love between friends, more gentle than a mother’s when her baby’s at her side.” There are winds of Heaven in this stuff of Earth.
