Praying hands underwater and floating flowers in the water. Inspiration The inspiration for this picture “Plan for peace in Jerusalem“ has arisen from consideration of the praying hands in the painting by Rembrandt: „An Elderly Man as Saint Paul „. around 1659-60. 2 I wondered when looking at the painting, which was fine the painter thought to paint the hands of the apostle Paul like this? What are the motivations and the mental movement with the colors folded To paint hands like this? Why is he bending his left Index finger and disappears under the left thumb? Does he have an injury on his left index finger? Does he have cold fingers or an injry? “He intercepts us something”? but what? In my painting „Plan for Peace in Jerusalem“, are on the Fingernails painted three symbols that point to the three sons of Abraham. So three religions pray in Jerusalem for the same thing, the water, THE WATER. Will the picture tell me that the three religions, Jews, Islam and Christians are praying in the water, or praying for the same water that they live there? The paradise (the floating flowers) is nearby. Jews, Muslims and Christians pray together for their common water sources. What a dream for everyone! 37 x 65.74 Inches
