Group Painting on Large Canvas

It’s the “Galaxy of the Horse”. That is the name we came up with after a group painting session (10 wheelchair patients) done to the tune of the “Hallelujah Chorus”. It all began with a canvas and paint in the middle of our church time at the nursing center. “How can we reflect the “glory of God” on one large canvas”, I asked. Rainbows, fireworks, angels singing, the universe were amongst the many suggestions. We decided as a group to paint our rendition of the universe. The assignment was for each person to take one to two minutes painting with whatever color they liked and brush the strokes to the beat as I played “The Messiah”. By the time we were done, a horse started emerging. It was finished with a bridle and an eye and we had what I consider a masterpiece. If you want to see it in person, bring your sunglasses!
