As We Long

Oil pastel on cardbord, A2. This art work was created in Israel. The image began as a black man, titled: "My black brother" to express my longing for Africa and the Xhosa language. The Art piece was created with Oil Pastel on old cardboard. I used Beet root as a "wash" for the background stain and effect. 

My path in Israel crossed with Ya'el, a messianic Jewish girl that I met here in Israel. I felt like I was supposed to give the art piece to her. Before the art piece was finished, she told me that it reminded her of her sister who had cancer. I spent the entire night, finishing the painting until early in the morning hours. When I finished the paitning, it ended up 'unintentionally' looking like a woman, & according to her, a lot like her sister. I gave the Art Piece to Ya'el with the following words written on the back: 

"May u keep ur eyes on the light and be filled by his rainbow"

The Art Piece is now known as "As We long". To draw a parallel line, between humans and their longings. Longings ly deep in every one of us, whether it is towards a close relative, like a sister, or on a bigger scale like that of a country and land. - Lily Brannon


Without knowing I have a half brother staying in Jerusalem, I decided (at the end of last year, 2013) to come to Israel.

Kowinkidink? I think not!

I met him for the first time in January this year 2014 when he came to visit our Dad in South Africa. By this time I had already bought my ticket to the land of milk, honey and free wifi.

Now I am standing on the soil where he grew up, learning a bit of hebrew daily. It still feels surreal, every time he crosses my mind I feel so blessed and experience an unexplainable joy. I don't see much of him as he is in the IDF (Israeli army) but at least I am so much closer than ever before. "I feel honored to be your sister! Feels like I've known u forever!" If thats not God? I dont know what is?

This mural in currently in the wall of his lounge. Everytime I would vist him I would paint a little more. This is much more than just an artwork, it is a story of reconciliation in connection to the altumate creators creation. Glory to God.
