Christmas Tree with Red Garland

Christmas Tree with Red Ornaments

Christmas Tree in the Snow

I don't get much snow where I am but I couldn't do a series of Christmas trees without including a snow scene.

Three Trees Stood on a Hill

4x4" Acrylic on watercolor paper (limited edition print $11)

Three trees stood on a hill thinking about their future. One wanted to carry the riches of the world and the treasures of kings and queens.  Another wanted to be made into a sailing ship and carry kings and queens to their destinations.  The last wanted to stay on the hill and grow tall and grand so when people saw it they would think of God.

Years later they were all three cut down. The first was made into a simple feeding trough. The second was made into a small fishing boat. The third was cut into beams and set aside. 

Not long after, the Savior of the World was placed into the simple feeding trough on the night of His birth.  Several years later the Savior calmed the mighty seas during a storm while in the small fishing boat.  A short time later the beams were nailed together into a cross and the Savior’s hands and feet were nailed to it.  All three trees were granted their wish, though not in the way they thought it would happen.  Prayers are answered in a myriad of ways and in their own time.

Uncut Christmas Tree
