This is the beginning of my newest work of art. It's not even close to finished yet, but I thought I'd give a little preview as I'm really liking how well it is starting to turn out. The picture next to it is the actual subject I'm working from. It's from a new series I've started on water and rocks. I'm really not sure what to name the series as of now, but I'm creative and will hopefully be able to come up with something better than water and rocks. Misti and I were talking about this afternoon, and she suggested rockin' water! I don't think she was serious. At least I hope not.
There's something really cool about how Rocks and water interact with each other. On the outside they seem so different (because they are). They contrast so sharply, water is soft, rocks are not. Water is fluid, Rocks are not. Water is deflected and moved by huge boulders and small river stones. Rock is shaped and destroyed by the powerful water that rushes by it. Water can destroy rocks and Rocks can stop a flow of water dead in it's tracks. That's poetic if you ask me. It's symmetrical, and it works - not the same, symmetrical; just like Misti and I. It reminds me of how amazing the Lord's wisdom is that he planned it to be precisely that way.
