Firmly Planted - Inspired by Psalm 1:3

This evocative oil painting captures the serene beauty of a riverside landscape, symbolizing the spiritual truth found in Psalm 1:3: "And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."

The composition draws the viewer into a tranquil scene where the flowing river represents the sustaining presence of Christ, the Living Water. The trees, though weathered and shaped by time, stand firm, their roots nourished by the riverbank. Their branches stretch toward the heavens, embodying resilience, faith, and the promise of spiritual growth despite life’s changing seasons.

Rendered with expressive brushstrokes and a rich yet earthy palette, this piece speaks to the believer’s journey—where trials, like the shifting seasons, come and go, but those firmly rooted in God’s presence will flourish. The interplay of light and shadow, the movement of the water, and the depth of the wooded surroundings create an atmosphere of both peace and contemplation.

"Firmly Planted" is an ideal addition for collectors who appreciate faith-inspired art, impressionistic landscapes, or visual representations of biblical wisdom. This painting invites reflection, encouraging the viewer to remain steadfast in faith, drawing strength from Christ, the true source of life.
