Exodus

In the background, you can see my reasonable facsimile of the outline of Mount Sinai, the sacred mountain in Egypt traditionally associated with Moses receiving the Ten Commandments. Rising approximately 7,500 feet above sea level, it stands within the rugged mountain landscape of the southern Sinai Peninsula.
In the foreground are my renditions of painted Egyptian columns. These columns seem to represent my first mental image of what I might see if I could travel back to ancient Egypt. I use them in other paintings whenever I need a visual reference that takes us back there.
To me, Exodus is about bondage, deliverance, redemption, and revelations of things to come. In the lower right-hand corner, you will see a frog and a fly representing two of the ten plagues. On the posts and beam at the entrance to the city, you will find my depiction of the blood that saved the firstborn of the Israelites.
Yes, I know this is not the doorway of a house. That is one reason I chose a folk art style: I do not have to adhere strictly to reality.
At the bottom, you can also see Pharaoh pointing as he sends the people away, and later sends his chariots after them. The Israelites are leaving with all their possessions. On either side of them are walls of water as they walk across dry land toward Mount Sinai.
At the foot of the mountains, you can see the tabernacle, the holy pillar of smoke, and Moses, who just happens to have a little glow around him. I am not sure whether you can see the glow in this photograph, but trust me, it is there. Moses is the tiny figure to the left of the tabernacle. The little yellow box near the tabernacle represents the mercy seat being carried.
I probably should have written down my thoughts about these paintings earlier, because I know I am forgetting some of the reasons I included certain details. For instance, that bull baffles me. He appears rather prominently, so I must have had something particular in mind. I will have to return to Exodus and investigate further.
I would probably draw portions of these scenes differently after another reading, because each time I return to the biblical text, different things stand out in my mind.
I hope you enjoy sharing in these visual aids and discovering the stories they are meant to tell.
