Jesus and His Earthly Father
Oil painting on canvas
by Cora Pat Howard
This painting came to me one morning at about 6:30 as I was meditating about Jesus and seeing Him as a toddler playing at his Joseph's feet. There are symbols throughout the painting; three nails (number of the trinity) lying on the floor, two lying in the form of a cross. There is also a cross in the wooden block which the child Jesus is holding and several more in the cracks on the floor; there is a crude hammer leaned against the table leg, similar to the one used to drive the nails in His hands; and Joseph is wearing a prayer shawl. The glory of God is shinning down on the child Jesus, who is playing among the wood shavings and pieces of wood.
