Behold (2005)  (30x40) 

Behold
 















   "Behold God, beholding you, and smiling."

     -Anthony de Mello, S.J.

   "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me."

     - Revelation 3:20

    I started this painting with the image that came to me when I thought of the above quote by Anthony de Mello. I kept that image, but as I was painting I wondered about how to paint the background. Then I thought of God not only smiling at me, but welcoming me into His Kingdom. So I added the door which is cracked open just enough that you can see the light coming from the other side. It makes me want to go through it and see what's waiting for me...
