Easter People preparation

Just a few days to go before Easter people. There’s always a great deal of preparation before the exhibition goes out and the loading of it into cars starts today. So it’s all physically exhausting before we get to a venue…. BUT then the fun begins………..

Although the paintings remain the same, the exhibition takes on a completely different feel wherever it goes. The space and the lighting are always different which tends to make certain paintings stand out or recede more. So we never know which pictures are going to have more impact than others.

I have witnessed many times the extraordinary way that natural light affects the pictures. Suddenly a shaft of light will come through the windows as the sun moves round, and shine through the silk like a stained glass window, impacting the person standing in front of it, both in colour and content. A moment never to be repeated…. perhaps just for a few minutes.

Sadly the paintings about old people nearly always seem to end up in a corner or at least feel like that, perhaps just by the failing of a light bulb.

I wonder how it will look at Easter people and what impact the Lord will have on individuals. After all its not about the artist - it’s about Jesus.

I’m so excited to see what His plans are. Hope to see you there!
