"...Beginning...", a book of verses from Genesis 1


Years ago I began a small sketchbook of images made with watercolor on Pen & Ink, of favorite verses from the Old Testament. I have selected at least one verse from each of the books of the Old Testament. Some books like Genesis, Isaiah, Psalms and Proverbs have many more. I have made it through Genesis and Exodus... with several more pages blocked out and verses selected. I liked the finished pages from Genesis Chapter One well enough to copy them and make a small book. This week I bound the book! Here are some of the verses and my interpretation in paintings. The words are from Genesis, Chapter One, verses 1 (above), 3, 6, 9, and 11.

Oh I like this so much. It is a wonderful idea. It is fun to see what you envision when you read those scriptures.
