Tender Shepherd
An old tv version of “Peter Pan” had a sweet song that was the Darling children’s night prayer. “Tender Shepherd, Tender Shepherd watches over all His sheep…” a line from the song. It just seemed a fitting title for this work.
Many Are Called
In the parable of the wedding feast in Mt. 22:14, Jesus says, “For many are called, but few are chosen.” These sheep looked to me as if they were responding to the shepherd….almost.
My Light
“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom should I fear?” (Ps. 27)
All Is Well
He sleeps yet his heart is awake.
Verdant Pastures
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. In verdant pastures He gives me repose. (Ps. 23:1)
In Him My Rest
Psalm 62:5: “Yes, my soul, find rest in God.” Scroll below to see beginnings.
Family Portrait
After tedious careful detail in some of my work, I enjoy letting loose in the ridiculous. Again line and whimsy win the day, and maybe this is a fitting artistic statement for a child’s room.
Feed My Sheep
Jesus told Peter to feed his sheep (Jn. 21: 15-17)
Have No Fear
Isaiah 41:13 “Have no fear for I am the one who helps you.” These semi-whimsical shepherds and sheep seem to be desired by today’s audience. Hopefully, they speak the truth with a smile.
