A Modern Painting of Lady Liberty

from Galatians 5:1

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”"

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.
