Oh, the love of the creative urge, to do something imaginative. I have come to see this as the eternity God has placed in each of us (Ecclesiastes 3:11). What could be more imaginative than eternity? I have been gifted to spend my life fancying art needing to be made. Art is only always meant to be an imagining of the Imago Dei, the search for God to underscore the meaning of all things. It is second only to the longing for Christus Salvator, for Him to find and save us. Once saved we spend a lifetime trying in our unique way, as remade in His Image, to live a gratitude of thankfulness.

| My last artwork for retirement is an Illuminated Bible. It was begun as a 5 year project which I soon realized was a 10 year which I have now realized will be passed to my grandchildren to complete. Began in the Minor Prophets. This is the drawing for Haggai. |
