Watercolor Wednesday: God with us

My dad’s been out in his art studio lots these days as he’s creating paintings for our Christmas book (Celebrating Christmas, coming autumn 2021). This is one of his more abstract ones that we’re not including, but I love it all the same. 

The theme is the Incarnation, God with us, and the mystery of how we receive what’s known as the Real Presence when we receive Holy Communion (or Eucharist). Christ’s body, broken for you; Christ’s blood, shed for you. We receive the gifts of God to be equipped, bolstered, strengthened, and encouraged for our daily lives. 

What do you see in this painting?
