The verse is Psalm 119:105. I really struggled with how to visually represent this verse. The Word is the lamp. I wanted to stay away from typical images of bibles and lamps -- but then I was without any images! Just as I was drifting off to sleep last night, though, I had an image of God's word literally plastered on the page illuminating the path of a woman. So, using a print-out of the verses I'd used in my DH's Valentine's Alphabet Book, I made a background with the Word and painted it yellow to represent His Word being a lamp -- and drew a woman on a path being led by that light. I wish she didn't look quite so angry -- or worried -- and I can't quite determine which way she's a walkin' -- but I like the concept :) Perhaps I'll try again when I have more time.

This is lovely xinme, great interpretation of the word.
ReplyDeleteI love your interpretation! I struggled with it too. I wanted to draw a crooked path & write the beatitude verses inside it & highlight it in yellow. But I didn't know where to go from there! I don't draw people very well. Your lady on my path would have worked.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate you pushing yourself -I know how hard it is when your sick & weak. Plus your tending to your family.
Are you having chemo now? I'd like to keep up with your progress so I'll know how to pray for you. XOXOX
Love this Paula! Love how you used scripture to be as an symbol of the Word as a light!
ReplyDeleteI think this is AMAZING!!! LOVE the concept you've come up with--and I love all that yellow! Gorgeous work! :)
