Patience and Promise

When I was a very young child, I loved to draw. I drew on used envelopes and in margins of magazines. I often wondered what to draw. I liked tugboats and drew them over and over. One day I asked out loud, "What should I draw?" A voice out of nowhere responded immediately, "...all that is beautiful." Now I'm sixty-two years old and I have been an artist all my life. My conversation with the voice out of nowhere (God) has continued unabated.

My relationship with God is what I represent in this painting, "Patience and Promise." God is patient with me because I have promise and I wait in patience for God to fulfill His promises. Patience is loyal and full of honor and reverence. Promise is intelligent, giving, and full of love. This friendship is more powerful than the barren fields of despair represented in the painting and defines the true reality of my life.
