The Vine and Branches was the 1st painting, I recall as doing for a Bible Cover, …Researched on Bible Message, Beliefs, Doctrine, and so forth, Theosophy, and Hidden Wisdom of the Bible. Created a Bible during strong belief…. Enjoyed your information, and research as well, and the masterfully created carving. I didn’t see anything that ornate, but visited a few chapels, and museums, …largest painting were at a Church of God museum, allegories and that type of paintings, …I was doing some church symbolism during study, and a journey of the soul, ..have been called a soul painter, after uploading some of my religious work. At one point, thought I was just doing what I was called to do, …I have always wanted a museum/ gallery, and worked in that direction, for the most part. But a religious visitation, was told to do a book store….museums do put out books. Well, on and on it can go.
