Put Off Your Old Self

The left three panels are in. The progression moves from top to bottom; like time-lapse photography, but in paint. The falling leaves represent the first part of the verse from Ephesians 4:

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; (Ephesians 4:22 NIV)

In fall, a tree will shed its leaves in preparation for new growth in spring. In the same way, we must shed our old ways to make room for the new.

Before moving to the next group of panels, I intend to work more in the middle section; experimenting with some texture to create the feel of rain.
