3’ x 3’ acrylic mixed media on canvas
I have an overactive mind that’s constantly going over and over things. I take deep breaths constantly throughout the day. Surrendering each time praying for peace of mind. Working on artwork that I can just let it flow and develop on its own is healing on so many levels. Turning everything over to God daily. I feel like just did some spring cleaning in my mind. Release all the clutter!
Ruach (pronounced roo-akh) is the Hebrew word for spirit, breath, or wind. When spoken, the word engages one’s breath and lungs. The first mention of Ruach in the Bible is in the very first chapter of Genesis – Genesis 1:2 to be exact:
“Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit (Ruach) of God was hovering over the waters.”
Genesis 1:2 NIV

I started this piece with no plan, I prayed that the Holy Spirit would guide me and let it flow! I have a deep connection with nature, a primitive instinct instilled in me to want to protect our planet. When I think about Gods creation and how intricate it is I feel a sense of incredible amazement. Our ecosystem is such a delicate balance with every living thing having a unique purpose.
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.”
Genesis 1:1-3 NLT
