She Baked the Loaves and Dried the Fishes
24 x 24 inch mixed media collage on birch panel Copyright Robin Birrell 2015 - Do Not copy without permission This is my latest large work for entry into the 10th International Art Competition for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The theme is "Tell Me the Stories of Jesus". John 6: 9-14 tells of a lad who selflessly contributed his five barley loaves and two fishes to be used by the Savior, who miraculously fed the five thousand gathered to hear the Gospel message. This painting depicts the lad's older sister who, in my imagination, climbed into the foothills near Galilee to find her brother amongst the crowd and deliver the food she had lovingly prepared for him. For this piece, I used whatever I felt like using at the time. It is a combination of acrylic, ink, colored pencil and, of course, Paper!

Robin, I remember you from when our boys attending the homeschool PE at BYU. Your artwork is fabulous. I've seen it in the Ensign too. Are you still NE? Where? I'm in Iowa about 90 minutes from Omaha. My blog is http://rozyhomemaker.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteWow, my typing was terrible! I meant "attended" and "in NE?" Was so excited to find you I couldn't type straight.
ReplyDeleteHi Rozy! It's so good to hear from you! I need to update my location for sure. Within the last 6 months we left Nebraska and moved home to Maine! It's so fun to see your kids all grown up! See you on fb? <3
