This painting is inspired by the powerful song “East to West” by Casting Crowns. Tracy Moore’s work is an expressive outlet and she embraces music and lyrics in this very personal piece. This symbolic mixed-media painting refers to a verse from Psalm 103:12 which inspired the song. The heart of the message reflects the themes of grace, forgiveness and redemption.

Rather than presenting a literal image, the figure of Christ emerges through texture and light. Through warm earth tones, the face of Christ and His outstretched arms gradually emerge, inviting viewers into a quiet moment of faith and reflection.

This artwork was created in 2016 and sold in 2021.
