Pentimento
to nadir he plummets, from grace to rejection, excellence decays into putrefied fraud.
But The Artist is savior, the canvas re-easeled, His blood on His brush, a skilled purifier.
Creation made new, pentimento revived, man resurrected, new life fixed eternal,
all things are of God, our canvas redeemed, to Himself He has saved us, His Love speaks fraternal.
2 Corinthians 5:17-18 (NKJV)
[ Pentimento means "repentance" in Italian. It is usually used in painting, and is reference to the original painting under the one that is currently showing. At times the "pentimento" will show thorough, revealing an original work underneath.]
