Garden illustration for my church mural
It’s been a busy few months so I’m playing catch up here. My family all got COVID in April (except for me, I think) so everyone was home for awhile. The kids missed a lot of school. However, by the end of the month, we managed to have a small belated birthday party with friends over (for BK’s 10th birthday). I created this mural concept, a garden scene illustration for my church around that time. (Did not paint the actual mural) The mural helps to show our church’s pollinator garden. I added an encouraging bible verse about growth and renewal which is like the regeneration of the garden and of nature each spring. This is one of my favourite verses, a reminder when the days are long that God is faithful to renew and strengthen–
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:30-31
Coincidentally, I went into a really busy season of work right after, and now we are almost half-way into August. Maybe I will letter this verse. It’s a great one.
