Spirit Moved upon the Face of the Waters (New Conceptual Painting)

Spirit Moved upon the Face of the Waters (acrylic collage) by Polly Castor

The phrase “the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters” is in the very beginning of the Bible (Genesis 1:2). It refers to what scientists call the “primordial soup,” and that is what this painting depicts.

It is a 30″x40″ acrylic painting with collaged handmade papers, and was made during my artist-in-residency in Maine.

The original already sold directly at camp.
