When someone buys a painting, they do so because the painting has touched them on a deep level. Perhaps the painting speaks to them in a certain way, or reflects their state of mind, but when a painting is bought it is bought for a specific reason. When one is looking for a painting, they want that painting to remind them of something, or tell them something. Such is the case with the work by Patti Bishop, who has created some stunning watercolors that are sure to reach deep into the soul of an individual.
One of her best pieces is of a religious context, showing a man kneeling before a stained glass window featuring Jesus. The man is holding his head in desperation, wondering if he is being heard in his time of distress.
The painting is thought provoking and brilliant, lending itself for the viewer to truly feel what the man in the painting is dealing with. As can be the case, during tough times, it may feel as though one’s prayers are not being heard. One may feel desperate and alone but as the painting by Bishop shows, even when you think no one is listening, Jesus is and he is there to help.
The painting brings to mind the footprints in the sand painting, showing only one set of footprints during tough times. It is easy to forget that during tough times, the Lord is helping us along, carrying us as we deal with the issues presented to us.
In the watercolor painting, Jesus has his hands open, with the light shining from behind him, beckoning the man to come to him. The man, head in his hands does not see this, and that makes him feel more alone and desperate.Bishop’s painting is another example of how someone can have a deep connection with a painting. The painting can reach to their soul, reflect how they are feeling and turn it right back towards them.
This is done extremely well by Bishop, helping to create something that is beautiful, touching, desperate and intense all at the same time. It is the type of painting a person who needs to remember they are not alone would have in their home.
The amazing thing is that it is just one of many paintings created by Bishop that have a deep emotional connection between the artist and the work.
