I used Terragen to create the background
for this image. I used a photo I took at Jindabyne in NSW, Australia
as a surface texture for the background. I added a tree growing
on the rock face in Photoshop. As I looked at the image I thought
about the valley of weeping becoming a place of refreshment, but
could not remember the name of the valley. As I was trying to remember,
the Holy Spirit put the name "Achor" into my mind. It
was not the name I had been thinking of, so I searched and found
the verse I wanted and named the art: Rain/reign in the pool
of Baca (Weeping).
I did not know what the word "Achor" meant. So I looked
it up and found out that it was perfect for the image. The valley
of achor (trouble) becoming a "Door of Hope". The space
between the cliffs was like a "door". So I widened it.
I added the more rocks and a rusty watering can and decide that
it should be called by the name the Holy Spirit had popped into
my mind. The Valley of Achor
