Most of Judges 6 is devoted to telling the story of God's call to Gideon commissioning him to deliver his people. The angel of the LORD asks him to do two things: prepare a sacrifice to be burned and tear down his father's sacred pole. The first poses no problem for Gideon, but he carries out the second command at night so that no one will see him. God realizes that we all need to crawl before we walk, and walk before we can run. Thus, He prepares us for our ministries in easy steps.
Gideon: A New Name (2012) (20" x 16")
acrylic and collage on canvas
In this Gideon series, I have utilized more acrylics than collaged elements. Max Ernst has been a purposeful influence in terms of technique (decalcomania) and in picturing evil forces as bird-men. The Jews are shown as metallic tools.
