Christmas musing and reindeer
Do you associate reindeer with Christmas? I've been reminded that reindeer are more than Santa's sleigh carriers, but are image bearers of Truth---the truth that we live in a world redeemed by the Christ-child who came to earth on Christmas Day. Even the animals were saved by grace, grace of being taken onto the ark with Noah. So each time I paint an animal, I'm reminded of what George MacDonald said in Guild Court,". . . nothing in which the art is uppermost is worth the art expended upon it."
Art is a manifestation of ideas, a kind of incarnation of an intangible.
This sounds a bit metaphysical and mysterious, but these are my musings on Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas.
