They Neither Toil Nor Spin, a mixed media painting on canvas
From the Upside Down Collection
Based on Matthew 6:25-33
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on….Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them….Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?...But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
I love how much movement there is in this painting while the flowers are very solidly still. They do not spin, they know they are secure. May we all have such trust.
Art Size: 24 × 24 with an 1 1/2 profile
Acrylic, Gouache, Varnish

Jesus in all His goodness is not what we sinners expect. Jesus teaches that the weak are strong, the poor are kings, and the blind see. Jesus brings an Upside Down Kingdom where the dependant are the powerful. Jesus’s Kingdom is opposite of what the world seeks to teach us, and we can rejoice in that.
The only qualification to enter this kingdom is a heart of need, knowing only Jesus gives what will fulfill and fulfill He will. “They shall call his name Immanuel which means God with us,” says Matthew 1:23. As we endlessly feel, see and know our need, Jesus is with us.
May these paintings remind us that Jesus invites us into His Upside Down Kingdom.
