most poignant story of liberation in the Bible is when God parts the Red Sea and delivers the Israelites from the oppression of Pharaoh and the Egyptians. It says in Exodus, there was a wall of water on their right and left and they walked through the sea on dry land. I used pages from the book of Exodus to build texture around the path through the sea and sand to give the crowd movement as they walk. This is also a reference to the promise to Abraham that his descendants will outnumber the grains of sand. The trinity circles are at the end of the path and holding back the waters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/9aa104ee-e3b9-4afb-918c-a3696672c012/AF1CBBF2-E3CE-491D-9DBE-8D50CAA2BC6C_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/16e16aa9-d0cb-4a2f-b9b2-39ad88e3294b/IMG_7365_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report "Beauty for Ashes" This is reference to Isaiah 61, a crown of beauty in place of ashes. Here we see the Trinity in the midst of the exchange, bringing new life in the flowers into the ashes. I used actual ashes on the canvas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/c661da33-14b9-4488-a39d-ab1d81e754ad/IMG_7224_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/18fa0992-669e-4fd9-ae50-e47f7a87e47f/IMG_7363_Original+Copy.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report "Waves of Peace" Anxiety is ever present in our modern and it is a trap that the enemy sets for our souls. In the lower part of the painting, there are dashing words, thoughts, and netting to illustrate how we can get caught in these thought processes and really find ourselves in panic. But from above comes wave after wave of God's peace. that passes understanding. Under the waves is is written the words from Psalm 23 and for each anxious thought can be directly confronted by a line in the psalm. In these moments we need God to be big, gentle and full of breath. The Trinity circles are light, airy, bubbles to contrast the trap of the netting below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/7931aefa-55c4-43fd-b180-49add04765b5/IMG_7225_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/be952e17-644e-45b2-bdd4-eaec51812c56/IMG_7163_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report "Oaks of Righteousness" In Isaiah 61, it says that "we will be called Oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor" and just before this line, the verses are all about having a spirit of brokenness. How can we be strong oaks, that display the splendor of God in the midst of our brokenness? I painted this oaktree, strong, full of color and life, but underneath, we see the brokenness highlighted by the circles of the trinity. This is to show that God sees our brokenness, we don't have to hide, cover it up or pretend it isn't there. And in spite of our brokenness, we have been declared righteous by the power and sacrifice of Jesus. It is in Him that Oaks of righteousness find their roots and can display His mighty splendor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/c3a3b9ef-c86e-46ba-b398-5dcf17ee13c6/IMG_7241_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/871ec104-604d-444b-a327-04139cd23b04/IMG_6956.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report "Light in the Darkness" In scripture, we see how God drives back the darkness. Jesus is the light of the world. In this painting we see the light breaking through, with the Trinity at the forefront, bringing golden shining light into the shadow places. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/4d95fd81-9ad7-4995-9809-2cc224c62a95/IMG_0204_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/0567ba9f-1df3-43bb-8dd4-f2104c3fc1ba/IMG_7302_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/279c73c4-0ee5-4993-b213-33878a783bec/IMG_0217_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/8303ed45-403a-4a26-959a-46fa247aa18a/IMG_7317_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/3bb1f99e-14b6-403c-84eb-09dd00d2aeeb/IMG_7323_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/903d41de-c91d-48e2-a463-c8c68c530183/IMG_7337_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/ae8a3106-14f5-4fd4-8999-2c0647267e46/IMG_0227_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/9c29f6f8-c6f4-4a46-89cf-c82942705281/IMG_7342_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/db0cdd65-c576-4329-8709-c490c2b61eb2/IMG_7351_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/2f0a9dd4-6cb9-45bd-b39c-b9e94c0058a9/IMG_7359_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/4054c710-3ee0-4a87-a4b1-3b2bc14af747/IMG_7360_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/8984c68e-df79-412f-9183-74bd64a7ac62/IMG_0231_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/84cbaefd-9e0c-4586-838c-5cb1b1752caf/IMG_0234_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/8296edb8-e311-4b7d-a6d7-5130b6b1db42/IMG_7369_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/2c8caf27-8020-45fc-97c2-3e3edb63e596/1e9d0d98-0ad5-48f2-8d4a-94638f3e69bf_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/8d36d5b7-d6ba-4cae-ad49-3f2fc66c77a3/IMG_7420_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/cc5468e6-f4f9-47bd-a110-fb324f1f8ece/IMG_7487_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/e5df075e-47c5-4a51-a26b-e688c1640610/IMG_7491_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/be6b14f7-52e2-4814-9532-292dbe5bd330/IMG_7497_Original.jpeg Transformation Art Expo Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/871ec104-604d-444b-a327-04139cd23b04/IMG_6956.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/6e217366-d855-48ba-b083-48b0b01b2867/IMG_2448.jpeg https://joannaappel.com/portfolio daily 0.75 2024-12-14 https://joannaappel.com/portfolio/seasandskies monthly 0.5 2024-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6730c0868affb212a2ad2d0c/4c0152fd-d462-407e-a830-80aad42bc3bf/IMG_6121_Original.jpeg Portfolio -
