I love when people request a painting with their favorite scripture. I'm usually given free reign of what to paint, so I think about the person & read a little more of the scripture surrounding the specific passage. What I paint usually doesn't have anything to do with the scripture, per se, but just something I feel moved to attach.

I wasn't very familiar with Song of Solomon, so this was a good nudge for me to check it out...

The Song of Solomon is a lyric poem written (by King Solomon around 965 B.C.) to extol the virtues of love between a husband and his wife. The poem clearly presents marriage as God’s design. A man and woman are to live together within the context of marriage, loving each other spiritually, emotionally, and physically. The poetry takes the form of a dialogue between a husband (the king) and his wife (the Shulamite). The book can be divided into three sections: the courtship (1:1 - 3:5); the wedding (3:6 - 5:1); and the maturing marriage (5:2 - 8:14).
