This artwork was produced as a 36” x 48” oil painting on canvas. The stones depicted are intended to symbolically represent the Trinity. The rather large and looming stone at the top of the composition is intended to be God Himself. He is above us, strong, omniscient, omnipotent and ever present. The stone entering the picture plane from the left is intended to be Jesus. The Jesus stone closely resembles the God stone in every way. It faces the smaller stones in a horizontal relationship. The Jesus stone stands on a flat surface that is intended to be the foundation of faith, the promise of His love. The largest stone traversing the entire vertical length on the left of the image is intended to be the Holy Spirit. It reflects the glow of the God and Jesus stones while covering and protecting the smaller stones which represent the faithful. The six stones that immerge from the shadow of the Jesus stone are intended to represent Mary, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Paul, the tellers of His story. All of the smaller stones represent mankind as it attempts to be in God’s will, following Jesus. In the upper right hand corner there is a lone pebble, separate from all the others. That small stone is supposed to represent the artist, basking in the glow of God’s love and struggling to follow in faith the teachings of our Savior.
“May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be
pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.”
