Covered by the love of our Father. Take refuge under His wing. God’s love is all encompassing. He knows everything about us and loves us no matter what. God’s love is not based on merit, but complete devotion to his creation. Take refuge under His mighty wing. Feel the love of your father. Know that he is always available to you. Live under the warmth of his protective wing.

Psalm 36:7 KJV How excellent is thy loving kindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

This painting took so many twists and turns before it ended up where it is today – bright and whimsical!

My original intention was to paint “Refuge” and I saw imagery of feathers and wings. I felt the safety of God’s sheltering wing. Before I started, I covered the entire surface with bible passages. I think I probably have at least 5 layers of paint and collage material on the final painting. My initial attempts left me frustrated because I did not see the message I meant to convey, so I continued the creative journey.

I titled this final version “Covered” as it is fitting that the basis for this painting are biblical truths that literally and figuratively cover the entire canvas surface. Scripture is the basis for being “covered”. The wings symbolize His security and protection as described in many bible verses. I chose to represent them in bright colors and patterns to be inspiring and uplifting!
