Luke 8:1

The subject inspiration for this piece was suggested by the engraved numbers 8  1  on a wooden shoe mold.  That led me to Luke 8:1 where the text seemed to fit well with the theme of walking. "Soon afterward, he (Jesus) went on through cities and villages proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him."

8:1 (2011) (12" x 12" x 1 1/2")

Since the good news as well as Jesus' travels ultimately led to the cross, it is pictured in the background.
