"Retvrn to Christ" - A Patriotic Christian Painting of American Liberty

Round stretched canvas, 10" diameter on a 3/4" deep stretcher. This color sketch for my larger work, Retvrn to Christ, is based on the famous Walking Liberty half dollar. It has the word RETVRN in gilded letters at the bottom, and around the edges are sketched the symbols of the 12 apostles of Christ. Includes hanging hardware.

A Modern Painting of Lady Liberty Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. What Can We Do to Save America? If you watch the news, you can see that the world is changing rapidly. We seem to be sliding downhill into something terrible. Many people offer solutions, but I believe that there is only one true solution: we must turn away from our sins and return to Christ. This painting was inspired by the well-known Walking Liberty coin, which was first released as a silver half-dollar. However, I've changed many elements in the coin, so that Liberty is turning away from sin and reaching toward the morning star which symbolizes Christ. Her hair is loose, symbolizing repentance; and her feet are bare, symbolizing humility. Instead of the laurel and oak in the original coin (which symbolized victory in peace and war) she carries iris and rue. Rue refers to repentance, while iris represents wisdom, faith and true valor. There are many other symbols included in this image, which makes it enjoyable to contemplate at home.
