Divine Design
Creative works by Markina Smith
“Hand of God” is an acrylic painting linking intimate earthbound life with the luminous cosmos. A large hand emerges from stars and nebulae in ultramarines, violets, and metallic whites, reaching down as invitation. Below, Nature rises as a maternal presence of foliage. Rhythmic brushstrokes suggest breath and heartbeat; small details — yellow throughout the piece as a representation of the vibrant sun coming through the leaves. All elements composed to form a visualization of being in unison with the earth and universe.
Opportune in bloom: a metaphor for the door of opportunity opening at its most fertile moment. It suggests timing, preparation, and readiness converging so that possibilities—like blossoms—unfold naturally. At this threshold, small acts of courage or attention become catalysts: you step through, nourish what grows, and transform potential into tangible change. The image emphasizes receptivity, timing, and the gentle power of incremental cultivation.
