That is an easy question for now. My favorite, so far, is a painting I created for my own home. I found the canvas by a dumpster after I watched one of my neighbors bring it there. It was an old framed painting of a southwest landscape.
I had it for a couple of months before I finally knew what I wanted to paint on it. I love sheep. I love the imagery of sheep in the Bible and the description of Jesus as my Good Shepherd. There are so many rich lessons to be found in the scriptures that describe sheep and shepherds, and I am always amazed and encouraged to learn more and more.
And so, this is what came out of me through my paints and paintbrushes:
So here we are in a lush pasture grazing by still waters trusting the Good Shepherd to take good care of His sheep each day. I love this painting.
It was a free canvas that was going to be discarded unfortunately. I didn't show a before here because I hope the original artist would not see that her painting was not only thrown out but also painted over! It is a very large piece, and I get to see it and enjoy it everyday.
Now for an idea for the large canvas hanging up in my dining room...
