I created this mural for Mt. Zion First African Baptist Church in Charlottesville, Virginia, around twenty years ago. It is in the pulpit directly behind the minister.
My art often takes on a different look, from how it looks when created in my shop to how it looks after installation. I compensate for this by having glass on all four sides of my shop to replicate the light the glass will receive once in place.
After installing this piece, I was pleasantly surprised to see the lights in the chandeliers playing on the gold mirror as I moved around the sanctuary. It truly had a star-like quality to it.
As simple as it is, I believe the dove gives many parishioners powerful spiritual insight.
Wishing everyone a wonderful Easter.
