HAND SERIES

This piece is another painting from my Hand Series which all portray  children being held by an unseen adult. For me , this series is a parable of sorts. Often as we race or stumble through life, what ever our circumstances, we are being held in the safety and security of an unseen loving God, represented by the arms and hand of the adult in the painting.   We all live through moments in life when we really only have a childlike understanding of the greater picture of His story unfolding, unbeknownst to us; our vision is clouded by what we are perceiving and feeling.

A daughter of a niece of my husbands was being baptized and as we stood around taking pictures after the service, the family lined up for pictures.  This little one caught my eye as she rested comfortably in her pink dress which seemed to pop visually against the green suit her daddy was wearing.
