I wanted to do a "flip" version of the WAILing wall. Yes, the Wailing Wall is the place in Jerusalem where the wailing of people and their prayers occur. I am most thankful that our Lord hears those wails and prayers and that every tear is kept in His special bottle.
This is called the WELLing Wall because I wanted it to cause the onlooker to perceive what was and could be WELL in their soul. Some might say, "not one dang thing." Well, if you have eyes to see this, that is a blessing and that is what I want this painting to do for you, beloved; to cause you to SEE what IS good, lovely and a good report in the places where life can be dark, bleak, and ugly.
Let the colors and textures minister to you; let any tears that might come flow in a sacrifice of praise and a broken contrite heart which the Lord will NOT despise.
If your world HAS been bleak and void of color, it is my heartfelt prayer that this painting will "awaken" what is good and lovely in your soul and your life...may it lead you on a journey to return to this WELLing Wall often to pour out both prayers and praises and to say and sing "It IS well with my soul; it is WELL."
