"I'm painting the room in a colorful way ...And when my mind is wandering
There I will go."
There I will go."
Since my every moment is no longer consumed by designing. (I know! How am I surviving, right?) Well, my mind has been enchanted by dreaming of all sorts day, evening and night... Caravaggio has been in the midst of my constant trance. The Calling of Saint Matthew has been hovering in my thoughts, I feel guilty not including significant history and all the depth that comes with this painting buuuttt I'm not...
I've been thinking about Matthew's expression, it's extremely authentic (why I love Caravaggio) and always relevant to my relationship with Jesus Christ! It's truly inspiring to reflect on this painting; I'm in awe of how direct the lighting, how dramatic, and how true to the emotions of such an experience! Jesus' finger is straight from Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, and what a beautiful connection to refer to the relationship of Adam and God, in comparison with the way that Christ awakens that intimacy...... yeah there is much to relish my dreams on. I think of how direct God is in his calling and how we are "to instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you." (Matthew 28:20)
In hopes of avoiding rambling on, to close, words that come to mind are: warm, genuine, distinct, bold, humble...
