Doing Justice to the "Abide" Collection

I’m slowly working on the two largest paintings in my new “Abide” collection right now. The last few weeks have been a little bit slow going but I feel like I really need to try and do them justice.

This one in particular has been the centre of my attention this week:

Sometimes I feel like I’m over my childhood issues but when they do come up again for me, this is how I imagine that I was being carried by Jesus even when I didn’t know it. He was chasing me and looking out for me from day 1 even when I didn’t feel it or know it.

This is the second one and I felt called to paint this to capture how I feel sometimes when I’m worshiping:

Over the summer I read Andrew Murray’s Divine Healing, and Abide, both of which really influenced the creation of this series. I would highly recommend Divine Healing especially if you are struggling with anything health related that the medical system has no answers for.

Updates for the Week

They are fulfilled by Gelato, which is FABULOUS. If you run into any issues or are not totally satisfied, they will replace the print and fix whatever the issue is right away for you. Their customer service is really superb.
