Look Far

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.... Psalm121:1............................ The next time your eyes get tired, gazed up steadily at the mountains for 10 to 20 minutes, it will rest your eyes. In other words the eyes of the soul get tired, stressful with problems. But if we turn our attention to the far horizon of God's providence and love, we change into a new perspective. Only then we experience the rest we desperately need.............................................................. Three Gorges, Sichuan.China in Watercolor 86cmx108cm

Wonderful Francis! I love the scripture too, so fitting and true. I thought of you a couple of times this past week, once while on our way to work, seeing birds flying over the river which is so common in your paintings (but missing in this one) and then again from a picture I received from a little boy with sponsor thru Compassion International - her drew birds flying thru his picture simular to yours. Anyway made me say a prayer for you out of the blue! : ) Blessings friend.

Artist Reply: You are so thoughtful to remember these little thing, this is a mascot to me indeed. PRAYERS MOVES THE HANDS THAT MOVES THE WORLD.
