“Anointed Rain” (9x12in Acrylic and Mixed Media on Canvas Board)

Anointed Rain is a 9x12 acrylic painting that visually interprets Joel 2:23—“Rejoice… For the rain he sends demonstrates his faithfulness.” The canvas is layered in rich blue hues, with golden streaks cascading like rain from heaven, symbolizing the outpouring of God’s grace, renewal, and promise. The rain does not fall in sorrow but in celebration—an offering of restoration in due season.

At the center stands a wooden silhouette of a Black woman with her head held high, embodying both reverence and resilience. Her painted skin shimmers subtly, as if illuminated by the very rain that surrounds her. A full afro made of real synthetic hair gives texture and presence, while a sparkling gold rhinestone earring adds a regal, sacred touch. She does not simply endure the rain—she is anointed by it, a living testament to beauty, identity, and the faithful return of joy through God’s divine timing.
