This is the biblical story that tells of the wandering in the desert where hope and faith in finding water might be lost. The answered prayer is discovering an oasis where it offers the abundance of 12 springs becoming a grateful and joyful celebration!
I developed this piece as an ancient map, a traveling scroll placing location and distance to each spring. One being a spring covered in yellow flowers, another reflecting morning stars and one with vines surrounding a fish pond...12 in all!
Love, love, love!! the colors, the shapes...we are in need of an oasis!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so glad to read your comment...thank you! Yes, we seem to need a very large safe oasis...without all this upheaval...sad.
DeleteThis work is really lovely, Mary Ann. I sure can do with a dose of hope that spring is on its way.
