Original artwork description:

This mixed media original abstract uses a contrasting palette of blue and Burnt Sienna, along with black and white--with gold leaf accents--to support the theme which comes from 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, when Paul speaks of the "thorn" with which he struggled. He said he pleaded with God three times to remove the thorn, but God replied, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Paul concludes with the words, "When I am weak, then I am strong," to express his realization that, when he is at his weakest and least able to help himself, then he is most dependent on God, whose strength then, by contrast, is most evident. Hanging hardware is already installed, and the painting has been given a satin varnish for protection.

Materials used:

acrylic, oil and gold leaf on canvas
