The blast of God’s Breath: Psalm 18:15, Oil, 52cm x 62cm

Marcelien Hunt

Psalm 18: 7-8, 15-19

7    Then the earth reeled and rocked;

    the foundations also of the mountains trembled

    and quaked, because he was angry.

8    Smoke went up from his nostrils,

    and devouring fire from his mouth;

    glowing coals flamed forth from him.

…

15    Then the channels of the sea were seen,

    and the foundations of the world were laid bare

    at your rebuke, O LORD,

    at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.

16    He reached down from on high, he took me;

    he drew me out of mighty waters.

17    He delivered me from my strong enemy,

    and from those who hated me;

    for they were too mighty for me.

18    They confronted me in the day of my calamity;

    but the LORD was my support.

19    He brought me out into a broad place;

    he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

 

At the Table: Marcelien Hunt

  1. The Book Study: Table of Contents, 82 cm x 63 cm , oil on canvas

The Book Study

When you chop up the goose at the table, the life is past.  When you chop up a fine wine sitting at the table by over analysis, the delight is past. As we sit at the table to study scripture and chop the passages into pieces of analysis to meet our purposes, we risk losing the life and delight of the soul.

  1. Bare Essentials, 56 cm x 63 cm, oil on canvas

Bare Essentials 

The worldly view of at the table in our current society is fast food and fast pleasures.  Society appears to have lost taking time with family and friends at the table with healthy morsels, conversation, close relationships forming.

  1. On the Table, is it our Lord’s time or your time?   Oil on canvas

“All the world should be taxed (Lk 2:1-2)”, oil on canvas, 50cm x 50cm

Artist: Marcelien Hunt

Artist Statement:

Luke 2: 1-3

  1. And it came to pass in those there went out a decree… that all the world should be taxed.
  2. And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.
  3. And all went out to be taxed…

2000 years later upon Advent the world is again being taxed. This is the taxing of all peoples across all nations by refugees. As God led his people out of Egypt, this exodus of Syrian refugees is an issue each should decide where and why they stand where they do. Do you face the crowd with your back to the world or do you turn to face the journey with Babe safely in your arms?
