Oklahoma Rose: God's Paintbrush - Luke 12:27

Watercolor Print Part of the 50 States Flower Series


Inspired by Luke 12:27 – “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.”



This rich, velvety bloom is a portrait of quiet strength and elegance. The Oklahoma Rose—a hybrid tea rose and the official state flower—is known for its deep crimson color and sweet, lingering fragrance. In this watercolor, the rose is painted with layered transparency and warmth, capturing the way light gently plays across each petal, revealing a beauty that is both regal and tender.



Inspired by Jesus’ words in Luke 12:27, this piece serves as a reminder of God’s faithful provision and His invitation to live in trust, not striving. Just as the rose neither labors nor spins, we are called to rest in the care of our Creator, whose artistry clothes the earth in splendor beyond compare.

This work is part of the State Flower Series, where each bloom is paired with scripture—highlighting how God's truth is written not only in His Word, but in His creation.
