Psalm 1

I used both of my hands to create the texture...just moving all around the canvas with the stucco. I began to see a heart shape and nothing else. I left the stucco to dry and didn't think about it for a few days. Again, looking at the texture I could see a tree in the shape of a heart - then the verse from psalm 1 came to mind. "...I am like a tree planted near streams of water that bears fruit in season and it's leaves do not wither - all that I do prospers..." This painting could be like one tree beaing fruit, or two trees coming together to bear fruit - two coming to unity...a community comes together, meeting in the middle to produce fruit - all fed by the same stream.
