Get a Free Greeting Card of My Painting, “Smoldering Wick”
I’ve made up cards of one my favorite paintings, “Smoldering Wick.” I was really in some darkness before I painted this picture. I felt despair over my sins (yes, even as a Christian.) I got on my knees, with my Bible open, and just poured out my heart before God. The promise in Isaiah 42: “A bruised reed He will not break and a smoldering wick He will not snuff out…” just came alive as I prayed and saw those words. I felt like that bruised reed and smoldering wick. But I knew God would not abandon me. Light arose in the darkness. Tears of joy flowed down my face, and my hands raised upwards to God. I wanted to commemorate the moment of God’s presence and peace and share it with others. So I painted this picture ( 30″ x 40″ acrylic on canvas) to symbolize what God did for me and bring encouragement to them as well. The original painting sold at the end of 2016–shown above in the collector’s home right after I delivered it–but I have sold several limited edition prints since then. I’d like for you to have your own copy. So I am making up some full resolution greeting cards that you can print and share with your friends. You may print off as many as you like (to be given for free only, thanks! ) The card fits on standard 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper.
