Post 331: The Dove at the Jordan

Painting Name: The Dove at the Jordan

I hope you know the story on this one. 

SKU: 10EK23AC

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 11x14x.75 Stretched Canvas

Edition Year: 2023

Framed?: No

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.

What Brought About this Painting?

I am SURE I am not the only artist that wakes up with a painting in their mind, that must be put on canvas. This morning, I saw the Earth in God's hands - or more specifically, in Christ's hands as a message to the world. 

"He's got the whole world in His hands" is an old song that came to mind but also reading Romans 2 about Gods tolerance, patience, and His kindness with us humans - wanting us to turn to Him. 

Romans 1:20 "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse."

In other words, and adding the previous verses to this - people try to cancel God, (cancel the truth of God). Although God is invisible, we see the truths of a Creator with huge eternal, inexhaustible power and divinity, intricately making every single animal, molecule, mountain and person. His designs are fantastic and creative. 

No big bangs nor evolution created all this. We all inherit at birth, an internal sense of right and wrong although we easily choose to do what we know to be wrong especially if it serves our own interests at VERY early ages.

We are living in the time of Grace after Christ was born, lived, died and rose again then ascended to Heaven. He is going to return. We do not know the hour, day, year of His return, but He IS coming back.

He is patiently calling us to repent and turn to Him.

Post 92: The Day that Changed the World, 4x5 Mini Stretched Canvas

Painting Name: The Day that Changed the World

I don't consider myself a portrait painter and have not even tried to paint a human in years. That said, I could paint the place where it happened, and granted, this human was God.

SKU: 03AZ21AC

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 4x5 Stretched Canvas

Price: SOLD

Framed?: No

Edition Year: 2021

Commissioned? No

What Brought About this Painting?

Occasionally when I wake up, one of my first thoughts is "what do I want to paint today"? The answer came quickly this morning - Calvary.

Also known as Golgotha, or "the Skull". This was the location of the day that changed the whole world. Matthew 27:33, Mark 15:22, Luke 23:33, John 19:17

This was the day when the man, Jesus was nailed through His hands and through His feet to a wooden cross, and He died. 

No, no, no, His death was NOT the end of His story.

Three days later, He walked out of that tomb He was put in and human life changed forever.

That perfect man, who IS God's Son, was given through His death, as our sacrifice for our sin and paid the price of HIS life for us. A Holy God does not tolerate any sin, small, medium or large - it's all sin, wrong and unholy. A Holy God, a loving and righteous God, our Creator, gave us a way to be forgiven and HE paid the price. All we have to do is believe in Him.

It is by nothing that we do, it is by what He did for us. Because He loved us.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

I got to go to Israel in 1973 and see and walk in some of the places where Jesus and the 12 walked. It's an experience of a lifetime.

Easter is coming up very shortly, so the painting is a remembrance of that day, nearly 2000 years ago.

And Jesus said, He is coming back again. It has been 2000 years since He said that, so I have a feeling with the way things are in this world now, when Jesus says He is coming back quickly and soon - He sure will be.

Are you ready when He does?
