We praise your Holy Name

This was a special project because I had a vision of people singing and shouting their praises to God. Everyone's hand was up in unison. This is one of the few ideas that thumbnail sketches weren't necessary. The vision was so clear that I immediately sketch it onto the canvas!

It takes place outdoors. The praisers are standing on grass. There is a vast blue sky. The sunshine is shining bright across the sky. 

The painting was reproduced on programs for a Mount Hermon Baptist Church conference workshop called “Back to Basics”.

Keeping the theme of praise dancing. Praise dancers not only show/express their passion for God, but they also minister to others through dance.

This dancer is expressing the joy that is already in her heart towards God.  She is performing a celebratory dance in a vibrant yellow dress.

Yellow in the Bible represents - Faith and Glory of God, anointing, and Joy.

OK, back to the subject of dance again!

If you have not known by now, I love many forms of dance, especially praise dance.

Praise dance is a very spiritual form of motion.

This kind of dance is an outward, expressive praise and worship to God. 

There are dances of rejoicing, dances of praise, and dances of celebration; all in keeping with the topic of praise dance. 

Whenever I watch a praise dance, especially when the praise is authentic and from the heart, it fills my spirit with joy!
