    Psalm 24
    Acrylic  |  1999
     
     
    Psalm 24:7-10
     
    Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up,
    O ancient doors!
    that the King of glory may come in.
    Who is the King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty,
    the Lord, mighty in battle.
    Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up
    O ancient doors!
    that the King of glory may come in.
    Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah
     
    "There is a huge, dynamic spaciousness in this work.
    The old gates are lifted up out of their buttresses for the Almighty King,
    Lord of the Heavenly Armies, to enter. A radiant three-pointed crown
    represents this King. The bright shape of the crown goins up with
    its lighter reflection to form a star - a reminder that this King is also
    the New Testament King Jesus, the "star" of Bethlehem. In my work,
    blue is the colour of faithfulness. The vivid, deep-blue background behind
    the gates reminds us of God's unfailing commitment to his promises."
