This 40” x 75” painting started with the orange-yellow color down the sides leading to the bottom of the painting which showed a darkly painted head of a downcast person. The central area of the painting from the top down to the head was painted white or with light values. During the service a large, rusty Roman nail, representing Christ’s suffering, was painted toward the top of the painting. A narrow stream of red (blood) was painted down from the tip of the nail toward the downcast head. A drop of red separated from the stream and headed down toward the head. Toward the end of the service the congregation sang the song entitled, “Jesus Paid it All.” The refrain for that song is: “Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.” As the refrain was being sung, the frisket was removed from the top and bottom of the painting to reveal a smiling Christ and a person in praise with outstretched arms – He Saves.
