ACTS TWO

The phenomena described in Acts 2 was always very intriguing to me. 

Always wondered what it would look like to see

a sea of red fiery tongues above people's heads. Never knew 

how to paint it till one day. 

Suddenly I "got" it that it was the dove (symbol of the Holy Spirit) 

descending on people should be center stage, 

and that the visible phenomena were a" by product."

 ACTS TWO. 24 x 30 Oil, StGermain

NOTES

Here the Dove is not a sign of peace

or a sign of new life (Noah)

here, the dove is a sign of fiery consuming power
So enjoyed painting the broad strokes,
the warmth of burnt sienna
lighting up van Dyke Brown and
Payne Grey
the White in motion
a force to reckon with!
