Description

After a busy day of attending webinars, coaching and training calls and bookwriting, I took a “refreshment break” to prepare this artwork image: A painted lady butterfly (Vanessa cardui) sips nectar from a mule's ears blossom (Wyethia angustifolia) at Point Reyes National Seashore in Marin County, California.

It was truly amazing how this butterfly hung on for dear life in spite of strong wind gusts that wildly tossed the flower back and forth. Being outdoors is like experiencing God’s live-action “movie theater” of nature.

This photo was taken during one of my recent wildflower photography journeys. It is available as a fine art print.

“All things were made through Him,
and apart from Him nothing
was made that has come into being.”
John 1:3, Tree of Life Version (TLV)

Artwork notes::

Embedded in the top right-hand corner is the Hebrew acronym for "B'ezras Hashem" [ב ס " ד] meaning "with God's help". It is a reminder to me as an artist and photographer of my dependence on the Almighty, the Originator of all creativity. This is a similar acknowledgement used by great artists like Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel who signed their work with the Latin phrase, "Soli Deo gloria" which means, "Glory to God alone".
