“Thy Will Be Done”

This mixed media painting was created using acrylic, ink, charcoal, spray paint and dried paint skins of the painters palette.

Bigger painting surfaces allow for a bit more movement and expression and the process becomes more involved as I build up the layers and textures. It’s typically a longer process that I become more involved and invested in. Painting intuitively and energetically this way allows me to have fun with different tools and shapes and to get into a headspace that allows me to work through and process all that life presents. It’s during this deep dive that I use these layers to either write in with water soluble mediums or etch into the surface prayers, lyrics, scripture or just whatever is on my mind at the time. With the heaviness of things going on there was a lot of specific things to pray for, but ultimately “Thy Will Be Done” because the Father knows the ending from the beginning. Thy Will Be Done is scripted on the lower right side.
