Inspiration
Psalm 19:1-3 The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge.
Psalm 19 is one of my favorite chapters of the Bible, for it causes me, as an artist, to think about some deep and marvelous things. Foundationally the whole chapter is speaking about light. For the heavens would declare no glory if there was no light. Did you know the sky is not blue at all? It has no color of its own. Only when sunlight filters through our atmosphere (firmament) do we see the results of the bending of light rays which, depending on angle, moisture, and clouds, can produce every hue of color and tone imaginable. For color can only come from the bending of light. No one could enjoy art without light and the dramatic effects of it. Have you ever been to an art gallery in total darkness..? Truly the God of the Bible is the Master Artist! For He fashioned our hearts with the capacity to enjoy art. I believe that true art will make us stop and say, "WOW, Look at that!" just as we do when we see the beautiful world around us and the dramatic illumination of light on it.
