Temple Curtain

As I was painting this large 2'x4' canvas in 2009, the Holy Spirit told me to pause and take a photograph. The result is an artwork entitled, "Temple Curtain" taken from Exodus 26:1 where God is giving instructions for the Tabernacle.

“Make the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by a skilled worker." 
  

Biblical color meanings:

Linen (white): Holy, pure, God

Blue: Holy Spirit, Heaven

Purple: Royalty, majesty, kingship

Scarlet (red): blood, sacrifice, sin, redemption

Gold: God's glory, His presence

Temple Curtain - Christine Nichols, 2009

 

All my paintings begin with prayer. I ask for the Holy Spirit's guidance from beginning to end - from choosing the canvas and paint colors to the last brush stroke. I pray that the Lord's message would go forth through the art and that Father God would be glorified. 

I believe all prophetic art has a message, but what the Holy Spirit speaks to me about a specific piece of art, may be different than what the Spirit says to you. Seek Him for a personal interpretation.
