Robin Roberts Fine Art

This painting came to me because my good friend, Doug Cooper, had the guts to talk about sex and relationships in church. (Got your attention?) Anyway, on the last day of the series he brought out a chuppah which is a jewis a canopy traditionally used in Jewish weddings. It consists of a cloth or sheet, sometimes a tallit, stretched or supported over four poles, or sometimes carried by attendants to the ceremony. A chuppah symbolizes the home the couple will build together. Chuppah literally means a canopy or a covering. Doug had people come up and take a white carnation and stand under the chuppah to re-kindle and pray about their relationships. Lanie and I went up and I think it was pretty special. So this painting is something to remember that experience.
