Eagerly Waiting
Description
"Eagerly Waiting" is an evocative encaustic painting by Rita Adams, it captures a moment of anticipation at the start of Jacob's journey from Beersheva to Padan-Aram. The ladder, symbolizing divine presence, appears on the first night of Jacob’s nearly 500-mile journey, possibly by foot or donkey. The painting's wax layers and pigments create a rich texture, prompting reflections on faith, destiny, and the dialogue between the divine and human. It’s as if God is saying to Jacob, “I placed this ladder here on your first night because I look forward to spending time with you, Jacob.”Try it!
