So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.  All the animals and all the creatures that move along the ground and all the birds – everything that moves on the earth – came out of the ark, one kind after another.  Genesis 8:18-19

I feel like this after winter – like I’m coming out of the ark (aka my house) I’ve been cooped up in for months :).  It probably looked like spring to Noah too – everything would have been blooming after all the destruction.  What a sight it must have been.  I painted these Noah’s ark pictures a year or so ago.  I can’t take credit for their concept/design though – I got the idea straight from a Noah’s ark children’s book that is illustrated by Ivan Gatschev and is done in watercolor.  I love the paintings in the book so I tried painting them myself.
