Mark 4:35-38

He saith to them that day,
when evening was come:
Let us pass over to the other side.
And sending away the multitude,
they take him even as he was in the ship:
and there were other ships with him.
And there arose a great storm of wind,
and the waves beat into the ship,
so that the ship was filled.
And he was in the hinder part of the ship,
sleeping upon a pillow;
and they awake him,
and say to him: Master,
doth it not concern thee that we perish?

this is less a spiritual commentary than a bit of research: i have a great image in my head for the opening of the whole Linwood Brown story and it involves this painting (or at least a replica thereof). i sketched some thumbnails (in a storyboard-like fashion) but i haven't decided precisely how to execute it. so i'm saving this here in the hopes that inspiration will strike when i contemplate the raging sea of galilea.

haven't much else to report. weekend class had me sucked into the black hole of uselessness, so i haven't been around much. i meant to post since last week, but have just been ridiculously busy (and not in too much of a fun way). but i won't bore you with the details. i'm determined not to gripe and moan in this blog.

hmmm. perhaps the posting of this rembrandt is a spiritual commentary after all.

later i have a book review, thoughts on the creative process, and maybe some sketches to share!
