Passages II: Covered BridgePassages II was a follow up to Passages I and reminds me of Psalm 91:1-2, 11 . As a child I went to school in North Haledon, N.J. It was a private Christian school and as part of our learning experience we were required to memorize Bible passages weekly. Those passages have remained with me to this day and are near and dear to my heart. Unfortunately, my children never had the benefit of the “memorized passage” experience and as a result don’t know them as I do. The Passage series is an attempt to create a visual aid of Bible passages for my children to help them remember the verses. This painting received the 2014 Merit Award from the Delaware Watercolor Society and second place in the 2015 Delaware Technical Community College's 25th Annual statewide art exhibit.

Passages VAs previously mentioned I’ve wanted to paint “passages” that I associate with a Bible passage in the hope that my children can visually associate the images with a Bible passage that someday they will learn. This picture is of a Dominican Friary that was started in 1252. The whole setting lent itself to watercolor so it seemed the perfect next “passage” to paint. The Bible passage associated with this is: Psalm 62 vs. 1-2: For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly moved.
