Ascension original painting

Original canvas is 16" x 20" and 1.5" deep. Includes certificate of authenticity.

This piece tells the story of the better life achieved through making the decision to go above the pits of darkness. Climbing up to the mountain of God- achieving the mind of Christ and leaving behind the things of the world. The animals represent my own family, and the relationships that have been able to thrive through making the decision to follow God. Dynamics that wouldn’t exist today if I had not made the decision to give my life to Jesus. 
“Ascend, my brothers, ascend eagerly. Let your hearts’ resolve be to climb. Listen to the voice of the one who says: ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of our God’ (Isa. 2:3), Who makes our feet to be like the feet of the deer, ‘Who sets us on the high places, that we may be triumphant on His road’ (Hab. 3:19).” - John Climacus
