Reflections of Family

Reflections of Faith, the first painting in the Places of Reflection series, captured a vibrant spring morning with many man-made elements set in nature – a cobblestone walkway, stone steps, an ornate fountain, a bench, and a rock bridge, creating an outdoor sanctuary – a place designed to help us step away from the busyness of our lives and to pray. Here we find our identity with the true Creator.

Reflections of Family, the second painting in the collection, is the next destination on this prayerful journey. Like this piece, when we venture deeper into our relationship with God, we find that we often leave behind the many comforts of the tamed landscape. The cobblestone walkway ends, yielding a steeper and more narrow path, and the quiet peace is replaced with the sounds of rushing water, splashing rocks. What does remain the same is an inspiring place of prayer. Here in this beautiful setting we can picture the nativestone bench quietly edging out from the tall grass, whispering an invitation to a more solitary place.

This painting is filled with many natural symbols of family – such as the deer, eagles, bunnies and other beautiful wildlife. It is meant to provide a stunning point of prayer in your home – a place to reflect on your most cherished blessings – you children, parents, and dearest loved ones.
