A symbolic painting representing Christ’s redemption.
The dead tree has tortuous branches and refer to the sinful heart: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it ?” (Jeremiah 17: 9) It could also be a reference to the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which eating of the fruit led humanity into sin and death.
The red sky represents the blood of Christ that cleanses the believing heart of all unrighteousness. The two shores separated by a precipice are the two possible conditions of the human soul: the sinful soul and the forgiven soul.
I have some more on the way. 5 paintings about Gaelic culture in Cape Breton. It's not so surreal, but interesting still, I guess. If I can find some time to work and finish them...
Very interesting perspective, Ket. I like the gnarled tree and the reference to the sinful, deceitful heart. I was actually reminded of that verse a little while ago. Great job!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
