Hymns
October 11, 2011
Back in May, after the Mother and Child series, I blogged about this new project.
Here’s how it works: You send me a digital file or a link to a sacred song or hymn, perhaps your favorite hymn in your mission language. I collect the hymns and embed them in the wings of a singing angel painting. If you’re interested in participating in this project, email your hymn to (jkirk(at)jkirkrichards.com).
And here’s my first painting in the series:
Hymns, mixed media on panel, by J. Kirk Richards
Here’s the painting in its early stages. You can see how I started with hymn pages and a hymnbook cover.

I want to thank you for all that you have shared in your blog. I have just discovered it and read every single entry from the beginning. I learned so much and enjoyed seeing your artwork and getting a glimpse into the life of an artist. I have raised 5 children and the sixth one is growing up, so I have now time for my second calling as an artist. I have so much to learn and a lot of it I get from blogs like yours as well as inspiration. Thank you again.
Thanks Felicia! I’ve been kind of busy and haven’t taken the time to post lately, but I’ll have some new things coming soon. Good luck with your new projects! Kirk
