Broken Beauty Print

I really enjoyed painting this rusty old American car. Broken down in the beauty of some woods and green grass. I noticed a lot of old American cars are this blue colour. The rust is breaking through under the paint. Everything in creation falls apart. Everything has to be made new again. We buy new cars because the old ones will not last. Everything requires a new creation. The story of the Bible is written into creation itself. We also see in this picture the whole Bible story. A beautiful creation has fallen and is broken. In our own lives we see great beauty and pleasure, but also great evil and horror. The answer is always the cross. At the cross the old creation can be made new. The science fiction story that the world made itself out of nothing does not explain good and beauty we see, nor evil and death. In fact nothing can make itself. Everything was made to see the glory of the cross.
