So it's been a long time since I've made a piece of artwork. I think about it almost everyday. Part of the reason was I recently gone on a 3 week trip to China. The trip involved some sweet time with a good friend of mine who lives in Henan, some sight-seeing, adventure, and interactions with people, culture, and history. The trip also challenged me in ways that I'm still figuring out.
As you can imagine, I took a ton of photos. This piece was inspired by one of my photographs. I've also been thinking about trying other mediums lately, so I decided to give watercolor a chance. I can't remember the last time I used watercolor. Probably High School. So I don't claim that this is an exemplary watercolor, but I enjoyed doing something different. I think I may do more after this.
Here's the photo:
And here's my painting/drawing:
"My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?
My tears have been my food day and night,
while they say to me all the day long,
'Where is your God?'
These things I remember,
as I pour out my soul:
how I would go with the throng
and lead them in procession to the house of God
with glad shouts and songs of praise,
a multitude keeping festival."
Psalm 42:2-4 ESV
