From Arvo Pårt's Antiphon #2: O Adonai
Each of these paintings from the Magnificat Antiphonen are not yet finished. I stop at about the 3/4 mark and then will put them away to rest. When I bring them out again, I should be able to see what else is needed. I will share them all when I am done. Keep scrolling down to hear the music that inspires this one. The first step was a background of black gesso,
with the addition of Clear Tar Gel to create a raised surface of lines.

It dries bringing a gloss black line on a matt black surface paint.
I hear the deep dark notes of browns and black and then the smooth melodic tenor flowing.
O Adonai,
Lord and Leader of the House of Israel,
In the flaming thorn bush
Were you revealed to Moses
And upon the mountain you gave him your law.
O come and deliver us with thy strong arm.
