Bible Paintings

Concept

The Gate with dark foreground outside a stone gate and light colors beyond, encourage viewers to walk through.

The Gate landscape painting, prepared with oil paint on canvas pad, represents salvation. A dark foreground, with flat stone path, leads past a gate to a bright background with trees and lush grass.

The foreground's dark, depicting challenges and troubles that might seem insurmountable at times, especially before salvation. The stone path symbolizes spiritual steps while learning about Christ's love. The background's bright sky with light, healthy foliage illustrates God's love and abundant life. When the unbeliever becomes a believer, they walk into the light, symbolized by the sunny background landscape.

A parallel exists in the believer's life. Problems might feel overwhelming. Just walk towards The Light. For assistance, follow guidance from the Bible and Holy Spirit. He lights our path, provides hope and guidance, when we walk in His footsteps.

I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture. (John 10:9)

I prepared this small painting as the color scheme for a more finished painting, later. The final, refined painting's in progress.
