I painted six paintings one week of this image. This one was the third. It took three practice paintings to prepare me for the three much larger paintings that I had to do in front of my church with only one hour each to paint them. It turned out quite successful and was a fun experience although I was in agnony with anxiety the weeks before Easter trying to come up with an image that showed how I see Jesus. This image covers a lot about what Jesus does for us if we let Him. Lean on Jesus and He will give you strength. Jesus is there in the time of need. He carries us through storms in life. This is what I visualize when I read the Footprints poem. The one set of footprints during our hardest times are His. The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold ~ Psalm 18:2
Cast your cares on the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken ~ Psalm 52:22 I painted six paintings one week of this image. This one was the third.
