Star Shepherd

Star Shepherd
Acrylic painting on canvas
24" x 48"

This painting was inspired by a December 22, 2009 devotional reading in Our Daily Bread and listening to Andrew Peterson's Behold the Lamb of God CD.

Scripture inspiration:
Isaiah 40:25-27
"To whom then will you liken Me,
Or to whom shall I be equal?" says the Holy One,
Lift up your eyes on high,
And see who has created these things,
Who brings out their host by number;
He calls them all by name,
By the greatness of His might
And the strength of His power;
Not one is missing.
Why do you say, O Jacob,
And speak, O Isreal: "My way is hidden from the LORD,
And my just claim is passed over by my God"?
King James Version

Toothy Cow Jawbone

We decided to take our young, vivacious grandson on a little Sunday trip yesterday. What fun we had. This photo was taken at Keystone Lake where he found an Alligator Gar's top jawbone (or bottom, who knows about these things?). The teeth are pretty wicked.

Since I've been reading to him from the book On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness by Andrew Peterson, it seems to me that this could really be the jawbone from a Toothy Cow or some other unknown weird creature. Ohhhh, what tales we can tell.
