The "Golden Bowls" Collection

Psalm 141:2 (NIV): "May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice."

Revelation 5:8 (NIV): "And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God's people."

"The Golden Bowls" is part of a new painting series I am currently working on that delves into the spiritual mystery and beauty of prayer as an offering to the Lord. Based on the imagery from Psalm 141:2 and Revelation 5:8, this series presents a visual exploration of our collective prayers as they rise like fragrant incense into the golden bowls held by the elders in the throne room of God.

Through a vivid array of colors and intricate details, the paintings in this series illustrate the idea of prayers as a living garden—each flower representing a prayer that blooms and releases its fragrance before the Lord. In contrast to the stench of death and destruction that often pervades our world, these works celebrate the life-giving power of prayer, a fragrant aroma that reaches the heavens.

This series invites viewers not only to see but also to experience prayer as a deeply immersive and participatory process. It encourages us to persist in our prayers, to create and release beauty through our petitions, and to recognize our role in offering up a powerful fragrance of hope and life to the Creator as we listen to His heart and pray according to His will.

In a world where the need for prayer has never been greater, "The Golden Bowls" stands as a powerful reminder of the importance of our spiritual devotion and the beauty it brings to both the earthly and heavenly realms.

Join me in a sneak preview of "The Golden Bowls" and support this beautiful new collection and declaration of faith. Let us come together in this journey of creating and releasing the beauty of prayer into the world.
