A Project of Shannon Austin Art
Scripture-rooted paintings today. A blog and guided Bible study journals, coming soon.
Currently
Each piece begins as a personal practice — spending time with a passage before touching the canvas, and letting the imagery emerge from what the verse means rather than illustrating it literally. It's the same instinct that will eventually shape the journals: scripture is something to sit inside, not just read past.
Psalm 27:1
The Lord Is My Light
Psalm 23:2
Still Waters
Romans 15:13
God of Hope
What's Coming
Hand & Verse is growing into something you can hold onto, not just look at — a place to read the thinking behind the work, and eventually, a way to bring that same practice into your own study.
The Blog
Reflections on the scripture and process behind each painting — the study, the false starts, and the verses that didn't make it to canvas but shaped the work anyway.
Bible Study Journals
Guided journals pairing a painting and its verse with reflection prompts and open pages for your own study — the practice behind the series, made for you to sit inside too.
Be the First to Know
New paintings as they're completed, the scripture meditations behind each piece, and first access when the blog and journals launch. No noise, just the work.
