‘Etchings on Biblical Themes’
-=< O >=-
Here’s
a qoute
from Joan
:
While listening
to a sermon entitled
‘The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing’
I got an idea which was refined
for the first etching on a
biblical theme
…
01
Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
…
it occurred to me
that if these were designed
as modules they could
become a series
…

Joan went on
to create 72 more
of these etchings
.
Upon discovering
her beautiful artwork,
I tried to purchase one
of them from her website
(#42, Ask, Seek, Knock)
.
Unfortunately,
I learned that Joan
died earlier this year and
the online form is not
working anymore
.

Working
with biblical themes
has been a great blessing
to me personally in many
unexpected ways
.
There is satisfaction
in knowing that I have
spent my life work trying
to bring positive energy and
goodness and beauty into
existence and into the
lives of others
.
To God be the glory
.
Thank You,
Joan

Absolutely beautiful.
I especially like the “ask seek knock ” despite its lack of figurative content… if that makes sense!
Thanks
That was the print I was interested in buying: #42
“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
(Luke 11:9)
Hi Jack, Yes, I was looking at N°42. It does sometimes feel as though we are faced with multiple doors. However, I see stairs on the right, I might go that way. I think there may be more etchings upstairs!
(I like the way you think!)
