Sometimes the words of a Psalm are so beautiful that I feel I must highlight them as the center of my paintings. The Psalms are works of art, all by themselves, and this verse reminds me of how precious and fragile our lives are. It speaks to the temporary nature of this world but also gives us a nudge, urging us to live each day with wisdom.
I talk more about this particular painting, and the inspiration Psalm that goes with it, in my book, Painting the Psalms.
