Canvas Impact

Recently the Baptist Collegiate Ministry had a special night of art, expression, and unplugged worship. In an acoustic setting, we got the praise the Lord in alternative ways. We worshiped through live painting, singing, and sign language. A silent auction was also held. Photographs, ceramic pieces and paintings. All donations and auction proceeds went towards missions! I was privileged with the opportunity to be one of the artists live painting on stage for and hour and a half.
Before the event I prepare my canvas by drawing out Jesus' face and painting it black.
I then covered the face in plastic and painted white over the entire canvas.
When I set up on stage, all the audience saw was a plain white canvas, the face underneath was unknown to them.
All I did on stage was finger-paint a ton of color onto the canvas.
Painting, signing, praising
Once the plastic was the removed, Jesus was revealed
Messy hands!

The painting was sold for $180. All proceeds given to further the ministry of our Lord.
