Every Tuesday evening I take part in our college community on line. It’s called Tuesday College Night. If it’s one of my modules in the schedule, I lecture and occasionally lead our time of worship.

Recently we were led in a meditation by Jacky Bone who is our course leader for the Pioneer Chaplains. She led us though a prayer based on one verse from Isaiah chapter 30 verse 18 and it has captivated me.

I knew as I listened and pondered this verse that some paintings would subsequently flow. It was if a seed had been planted into me and I needed to show what I saw creatively.

These two painting seeks to show the rising up of the Lord, represented as an eagle, soaring and rising up. It’s about his willingness to come to us and overshadow us.
