Anemos
Oil
             48" x 60"            (121.9 x 152.4 cm) 
Proverbs 30:4
Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in the hollow of the hand? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is the person's name? And what is the name of the person's child? Surely you know!
Anemos
 
At the time of the Passover, the hillsides near Jerusalem are dotted with bright red flowers. One of those is the poppy (parag) which suggests sleep and ignorance. It has now come to symbolize the crucifixion -- the sleep of death.

In this painting, the scripture foretells the coming of the Son of God. The repaired windmills are filled with new winds and represent new life. The poppies are blown by the winds (anemos) and with them the message of the Resurrection of the Christ to the four corners of the earth.
