But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. – Jeremiah 18:4 Out in the Denver art museum lies my favorite piece of art called Release Your Plans by Daniel Sprick. I’m not much of an art buff, I don’t understand all the underlying meanings, I couldn’t tell you much if anything about the techniques someone used but every now and then some piece catches my eye and ignites the imagination. The painting is tucked in a corner surrounded by a cushioned bench so you can sit and gaze for a few moments. This time I spent 5-10 minutes in front of it studying it’s intricacies and looking for things I had missed. I noticed on the side wall next to the bench a small book sitting in a shelf… [Read More]
