Description

I did this painting as part of a show that will be in Texas in the spring based on the biblical verses including Blessed or Blessed be. This is the visitation between Mary and Elizabeth when St. John jumped in Elizabeth's womb:

Luke 1: 39 In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in the hill country, 40 where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the child leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit 42 and exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. 43 And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? 44 For as soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in my womb leaped for joy. 45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her by the Lord." 46 And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48 for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed; 49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. 50 His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. 51 He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. 52 He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; 53 he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty. 54 He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, 55 according to the promise he made to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever."

While I was praying about this painting, I heard dodecahedron and fibanacci. I had to look it up. The Fibanacci spiral is the green swirl in the middle that is a geometry that continues on in a sequence as in sunflowers and pinecones. I have shown the spiral symbolically in other work (see first day of creation and flaming sword) and like the top circle on this painting, but didn't know what it was called. There are different dodecahedrons (which is a 3D pentagon) but it seemed appropriate to indicate a stellated dodecahedron which manifests a star. As for the circles and triangles in the circles and the placement, I cannot articulate or begin to understand except it seemed right. These patterns are seen in nature, but I believe the Lord was showing me the divine patterns that exist in the unseen or in the spirit.
