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

This is one painting of 3 in a series titled “Solomon’s Treasure”. I turned to the book of Ecclesiastes while painting this series which inspired me to learn more about King Solomon. The darker colors in the paintings represent the busy overactive mind and distractions in this life. The white represents the healing connection of the Trinity throughout out our mind, heart and soul. Reading Gods word can transform us and this broken world.
“God gave Solomon very great wisdom and understanding, and knowledge as vast as the sands of the seashore.”
1 Kings 4:29 NLT
