What Brought About this Painting?

There are times when you just wakeup and see a painting in your mind's eye. Jesus with His hand out, waiting on you and I, yes, each of us - was such an artwork. The naming of the art was easy as well as that is what He does. He gives us an invitation to an eternity...it is our choice. 

And choices have consequences, don't they? 

It is certainly a daily reminder when seeing the painting whether your hand has already reached out to Him, or if you have not already accepted His invitation. Just do it while there is still time, my friend.

The artwork will be for sale at some point, once it is determined as completed. 

And I don't paint people! I have tried here and there to do a person off in the distance or a hand, or something generically human. I would not try at least at this point in my art career to do a portrait of a human. Pet portraits, horses, animals, land or seascapes, buildings - yes - all day. Who knows, maybe one day I'll really challenge myself but there are sooo very many subjects to paint!

What Brought About this Painting?

I've watched "The Chosen" several times now. If you haven't, I highly suggest you do. Season 4 is supposed to come out in theaters in 2024 so you have Season 1 through 3 to binge on til then through the Angel Studios app on your TV. And this December, Dallas Jenkins (son of Jerry Jenkins, one of the writers of the Left Behind Series) has worked on combining "The Shepard" and "The Messengers" for a Christmas special.

I did touch up the faces some and tweaked here and there after taking the picture above. Getting the varnishing done now. Debated on the name of the painting as well (artists...we are always piddling, you know). "The Dove at the Jordan" or "The Lamb and the Dove at the Jordan"? 

The art label making folks LOVE shorter names for paintings and I understand that. When they are making those small labels, it is far easier to make and see a shorter name. Also, if the name is going into an online art store, limited characters in that line may cut something off. Oh the challenges. 

I've painted a few Christian-based paintings and here is another one to add to my list. Previously, I have these:

A mini acrylic painting 3x4 called "Genesis 1:1" on mini canvas with a mini easel. I hope you know the words..."In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth." I am a believer of this - my hope is that you do too.

"Genesis to Revelations, He's Got This" is 16x20 Acrylic on Canvas and is Sold. When you read about the crucifixion of Christ on the Cross, it is often said that the nails were probably actually in His wrists. The weight of His body would have torn His hands if the nails were driven through His palms.

16x20 Acrylic on Canvas "There Once Was a Boat". I based this on the Ark Experience style of Ark. The animals were INSIDE the ark and I'm pretty sure the giraffe's heads were not sticking out of the top window nor were the monkeys dangling off the railings or the elephants standing on the deck with their trunks in the air. Imagine what it would have been like to be Noah and his family in a world covered with water for months on end. And knowing you were the only people left on earth...

3 Mini 3x4 "Holy Bible" paintings in acrylic on mini canvases with mini easels. Holy Bible script is in gold leaf, 1 is Sold

"The Day the World Changed" is 4x5 small painting in acrylic. Everything changed on this day. What can we say about a God that loved us so much that He would die for us, and was actually killed by us? The foremost thing is that He became like us, hence the body CAN be killed, but we cannot actually kill God. He rose from the dead - He is a living God. That is how HE - saved - us. 

HE paid OUR price.

I can see a mini Bible paintings sitting on your bedside, when you wake up in the morning and a quiet remember to get up, get coffee, grab your Bible and go talk to the Lord. Or sitting on your book shelf. What other uses do you see?

See them in my Etsy shop at Etsy Shop 

A daily reminder that the Good Book is always there, always waiting for you.
