Message Given
Description
In this symbolic encaustic mixed media painting, Rita Adams depicts yet another interpretation of Jacob's dream (Genesis 28:10-22). The angel kneels in humility and reverence as if awaiting Jacob's response to the divine message. Around the base of the ladder, other ladders lie abandoned on the ground, like forgotten tools or pathways. A tall tree rises in the background, its branches stretching towards the heavens like nature's own ladder. The encaustic medium adds a tactile, layered quality to the piece, inviting us to contemplate our journey, the ladders we climb, and the messages we receive.Try it!
