I've never set out to create a painting that explicitly illustrates a foundational life value. Until now.

Perseverance, first in my Life Values Collection, is a homily in print and canvas, inspired by a real moment of doubt and determination.

We see that the clouds are about to break. The seas will calm; the sailor's perseverance will soon be rewarded by a return to God's safe haven. Like the dove that flew to Noah as a sign of God's provision, seagulls circle above the boat in my painting as a reminder that safety lay just over the horizon. Perhaps this painting can assure each of us that if we can simply persevere, God's hand of love will soon disperse each storm we face.
