Advancing Thunder
Acrylic 28”x 36” - Revelation 19:19
This painting was completed during the Tuesday evening of worship at the Vineyard conference, Heart to Heart, in Winkler, Manitoba. I had more sounds than images in my mind. I could hear the sound of distant thunder and so, I began to paint the storm over the prairies. The immense breadth of the majesty of God is felt as one traces the flat horizon with the eye. Out of the distance emerges a surging flank of horses echoed by a twister growing in the storm above. The storm over the plain is clearly the voice of God rumbling, “I am coming.” Lightening strikes. An eagle soars over the darkened harvest fields. The power of God sweeps over. The harvest fields are swallowed in moments by an urgent move of God’s Spirit. He is on the move.
