Out of 2 Kings 5: “So Naaman went down to the Jordan River and dipped himself seven times, as the man of God had instructed him. And his skin became as healthy as the skin of a young child, and he was healed!”
This fluid interpretation of Naaman’s “dip” involves many thin layers of oils. In reading the whole story, note the hesitation this army commander had when the prophet Elisha told him to wash himself in a river that was dirtier than others he would have preferred. Because of this, I chose not to submerge the painting in watery colors and instead make 7 distinct turquoise markings over flesh tones and gray - a color that sometimes represents death. The death of Naaman’s skin (leprosy) was the condition he was healed of.
