revelatorART has moved: NEW WEBSITE LOCATION

www.revelatorart.wixsite.com/revelatorart

I HAVE A NEW WEBSITE LOCATION FOR MY revelatorART BUSINESS. IT IS NOW LOCATED at WIX.COM 

I am making the WIX.com site my primary revelatorART business site and am in process of updating my current business cards, brochures, and electronic communications with the WIX.com site address and information. 

Please make note of the switch over to the WIX.com site if you are desiring to keep updated on new paintings and work of mine, along with events I will be at and upcoming plans. 

I will keep this BLOGGER site open until further notice because I've had it for years and it's been on all my business cards and brochures and electronic communications, and much of my clientele have been used to coming to this site. But the WIX.com site will be my primary site. 

The new WIX.com site allows for more of a stream-lined look and tab system, easier interaction with my painting gallery and allows for a quick contact email form. With time, I will be working on the possibility of on-line commission contracts and even on-line payments. For now...go check it out! 

THE NEW WEBSITE ADDRESS IS:

The Evolution and Progression of Permanent Sanctuary Art

Recently I was given the opportunity to create a piece of art to display permanently in the sanctuary space of the building that Ke Aha Vineyard Church rents to meet in. I took a couple of months to pray about imagery and what I might create, being intentional to listen in on the conversation that God is having with the people of Ke Aha and being mindful of what kind of message would come forth from the painting. 

I didn't know exactly what size of canvas I would use to paint on. But when I came upon a 3ftx3ft canvas at a local charity thrift shop for a very reasonable price I quickly decided that would be the size. The canvas had an aerial view landscape photograph printed on it. I needed to prime over the top of it so I could start fresh, but decided to utilize the topographical lines from the rivers in the photograph as part of the abstract painting I would create. I then began the lengthy layering process of mixed media and texturing using acrylic paints, charcoal, graphite, chalk pastels, gel ink pens, paper, ink, and water, rags, paper towels, brushes, palette knives, faux painting tools, and matte medium. This took the majority of two days to complete, working hours at a time. 

Here are photos of some of that evolution and progression....

Once I was finished with the painting I wrote and printed an artist statement and was able to take it in to be placed on the easel in the sanctuary space of the building. 

Here is the Painting that is on permanent display:

In the midst of all the beautiful mess of life, we are meant for relationship (with each other and with our Creator). It's worth the intentional time taken to listen to the heartbeat of the conversation that God is having with each of us, and to enter into that conversation in real and authentic ways. We get to be in each other's lives...in the good and the hard places...and that is a privilege and gift given by God.
