A Sabbath afternoon with Golden Sea



Makoto Fujimura's GOLDEN SEA came this week. It was part of  a Kickstarter campaign. 
So I spent this afternoon with the book , drinking in the beautiful words, and copies of 
paintings.

" The process of painting then, mirrors my deeper struggle to return the gifts back to the Creator."

Golden Sea was a canvas on the side of his NY studio that he painted after the intensity of 
doing the 400th KJV Illuminated Bible for Crossway.

What a lovely book. The paintings are very restful, aren't they?

You might share more glimpses of your house one day. Ahem. :)

M.'s comment about your house is funny! I can appreciate your appreciation of his art and it is serene and restful and the color combinations are amazing, but I have never been able to "understand" this kind of art. I'm probably too much of a realist!

They are all beautiful, and must be something special seen in person. I think Tree Grace is my favorite.
