Fount
by Ginny Runge

Medium: Watercolor
Date/Size: 2007 / 20" by 20"

The title, “Fount,” was inspired by the hymn: “Come, thou fount of every blessing.” I believe God is the fount, or source, of energy, light, and love within me. By visually depicting this source of light and energy at the center of my image, I describe my efforts to live a centered life, with the strength and light of God at my core. I believe, as the hymn states, that I am “prone to wander” in darkness. It is through seeking the light of God that I find my true path again.

Ginny Runge teaches third and fourth grade art at The Potomac School in McLean, VA, and is actively involved with the arts ministry at St. John’s Episcopal Church, McLean.
