Beautiful Word

Beautiful Word
An oil painting of three passions

The original artwork for this greeting card was created in an oil painting workshop taught by nationally-known impressionist painter and friend, Mark Gingerich. I arranged the still life that included items representing my passions – my Bible, flowers and study books, symbolizing the beauty and depth of God’s Word.

I drew the composition, painted major blocks of color with a few details, and Mark applied the master’s finishing touches. Mark said the painting was mostly mine; I said it was mostly his! This painting is a collaboration that expresses Mark’s unique giftedness and my favorite things.

I took the photograph below of Mark's pallette. He makes his own breathtakingly beautiful wooden pallettes.
