About the Painting & Booklet:
The inspiration for the painting began during a trip to Israel in 2016. My wife and I and several of our friends had arrived at Kibbutz Lotan in the Arava Valley and learned from Rabbi Daniel Burstyn how the Kibbutz was based on profit sharing and egalitarian Jewish values, and how eco-living literally made the desert bloom.
During my time at Kibbutz Lotan, I began thinking about the 12 Tribes of Israel and how they must have passed through the very area where I stood. Further inspiration for the paintings was found in The Chagall windows at the Hadassah Medical Center at Ein Karem, Jerusalem.
When we returned to the states, I began researching the tribes, learning that each had its own flag, symbol and color, then began the project of painting 12 watercolors, each 6″ x 9″ in size, each representing a tribe. The symbols and colors were picked based on what I thought best depicted the essence of each tribe.
After completing the watercolors, I began working with a local artist for ideas about how to display the paintings as a group that would become a professionally prepared glicée print on archival paper. I felt I had to do more than just paint.
I was inspired to write a booklet to explain the paintings and provide more information about each tribe. The purpose is to share with you what I learned about each tribe, thus giving a better understanding of the paintings.
