The idea for this painting came from the Bible, Psalm 18, "He makes my feet like the feet of a deer and enables me to stand on the heights." The underlying thought is that no matter how hopeless things may seem, with God no obstacle is too great to overcome.
There are many layers of glazed color that push the limits of nature. The overall lighting moves from the darker tones in the foreground to lighter tones in the distant background, hopefully creating a broad sense of depth.
