This past weekend I participated in a "Street Painting Festival" where 100 artists drew chalk drawings on the street. There were various topics, sizes, and abilities...and they were so beautiful!!! I chose to do a 10'x6' of one of my favorite paintings called "The Resurrection Mural" by Ron DiCianni. I spent 4 hours Friday night sketching it out, 13 hours on Saturday coloring it and a couple hours Sunday adding the final details. Honestly, I would have drawn more on Sunday but the weather was sooooo hot and humid, I just couldn't handle it. Fortunately, this image still looks good even without the fine details. Besides, it is almost impossible to get fine detail when drawing with chalk on asphalt.

Anyways, this image represents what is most important in my life, that is why I chose to draw it. My relationship with Jesus is the most important decision I have ever made. And the resurrection is the most significant event in history - the day that God conquered death and the power of sin in people's lives. Jesus rose from the dead, and the same power that rose Him from the dead is the power that works in the lives of people who love Him with all their heart. This is so significant to me, I just don't know how to put it into proper words. The beauty of art is that we can use it to communicate the deep things of our heart, sometimes better than with words.
