PAINTING: WHAT IT REPRESENTS

I have been trying to complete this painting before Christmas. It means so much to me since it represents my representation of Revelation 4:4, 4:10, and 19:12.

There has been a lot of speculation concerning the twenty-four elders in the book of Revelation. Most theologians agree that the original twelve are the Old Testament Patriarchs, the sons of Jacob. The remaining twelve are thought to be the Disciples of Jesus.

Most of us agree that Judas, the traitor, is not included in the latter twelve. Some have said that it is the man, Matthias, introduced in Acts 1:26. None of us are sure who is chosen to sit around the throne, but I have to say that the Apostle Paul, who was chosen by Christ Himself to write a large portion of the New Testament through the prompting of the Holy Spirit, might be included with the eleven.

Who is to know the mind of God? All I know is that I love Him with my WHOLE heart and long for the day that I hear the words, “Well done, My good and faithful servant…” – Matthew 25:23

I hope that you enjoy my photos and explanations about my paintings. As an artist, I enjoy sharing these moments with you. May God bless you as you go about your day!

See ya next time.

The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. (Proverbs 4:18)   The Path My days are filled with work. I work full time, caring for the lawn, flower garden, and I am a painter of oil on canvas, as well as a writer and blogger. I am Laveda D. Rockford. My Mother, her doctors say, is in stage four cancer and has been since 2015. However, we are blessed that she can still do a lot of things on her own. In fact, I took her to see my brother in Texas and she will be staying with him for a while. Her next injections are not until later this month. I have not had time to write even though I have started my third book. The publisher that I contacted to publish my second book gave me an estimate but when I was ready to pay, they did not contact me again. I am wondering about this as I do have the funds and would like to begin. If you know of a publisher that is interested in a Christian novel, please send me the information so I c...

Ready For This | Laveda D. Rockford

  Ready for This Winter is shortly coming to an end, When spring colors do appear, What wonderful sights you see in shrubs and trees, Flowers of white, red, and yellow, with leaves of green, Shouts the joys of the spring, Singing loud before summers day, Oh, it is a wonderful day, When the earth wakes from sleep. © 2024 Laveda D.

Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford

  Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford I am trying my best in the heat of early summer to complete my flower garden borders. I have been working on this vision for almost two years and have finally reached a point where I can show you and you can understand. The newest section will contain a small patio area with table and chairs surrounded on one side with Buxus as a screen of privacy. Burgundy Plum and Cherry trees, as well as Sand Cherry and a few tulips will welcome spring weather. Then Iris will rise up until they burst into their beauty. Purple, yellow, and a burgundy and white combination. Oh, what a delight. Late spring into summer, Yarrow (Achillea) rise higher and throw on their crown of flowers acting as a forerunner into summer’s beauty. Phlox, Whirling Butterflies (Gaura) purple Salvia, Shasta Daisy, Hydrangea and Clematis all vie for attention in the summer sun. The Rose of Sharon, single and double, tree and bush, will bring forth their beaut...
