We feel starved, but HE provides...

Original Oil on Canvas  30" x 40"  Titled: "Jireh"


Painting Titled: "Jireh" The Provider. I have always misinterpreted the expression starving artists and have held a deep resentment for it. I have always disagreed with the notion that artist, if they chose to make a living as artists, would starve. Well, after careful thinking I must agree, only because all artists, while they might be properly fed, they starve in other senses. As an artist are you ever starved of focus, inspiration, concentration, ideas, tranquility, prudence, industry,etc? We are all starved of one thing or another when we choose to trek through this uncertain trail. But God always provides... Buen provecho, starving artist!
