Just before Christmas, Piquant, a new Christian publisher, produced this beautiful piece of art publishing, placing extracts from the Psalms next to the richly colourful paintings of Dutch artist Anneke Kaai.
Each of the 25 paintings is full-page and full-colour, and the large format allows us to appreciate their bold forms, rich colour and variety of textures. Each is placed opposite an extract from the psalm to which it relates. A wide range of Psalms, such as 1, 42, 139 and 150 are involved, quoting from the interesting paraphrase of The Message.
