Fruit- Gentleness

This is the first in my Fruit of the Spirit Series. Gentleness is so rare in our rush-rush day and age. When we do receive it, we are caught by surprise, and sometimes we may even relax and let down our guard. What a difference gentleness makes to our day, to our lives! "A harsh word stirs up anger, but a gentle answer turns away wrath." All of us- children, parents, grandparents, neighbors and strangers- need to experience gentleness to remind us that we are precious and life can be sweet. I am excited about this new series of paintings.

There will be a total of nine paintings in this series- all the same size (approx. 8" x 8"), all depicting in some way one of the nine fruits of the Spirit as depicted in Paul's letter to the Galatians. Prints of these are available here. I hope you enjoy these fruits as much as I do.
