Hello ,
Nat Wyeth, engineer and inventor, says the following about his brother, artist Andrew Wyeth:
"Andy did a picture of Lafayette's quarters near Chadds Ford, Pa., with a sycamore tree behind the building. When I first saw the painting, he wasn't finished with it. He showed me a lot of drawings of the trunk and the sycamore's gnarled roots, and I said, "Where's all that in the picture?" "It's not in the picture, Nat," he said. "For me to get what I want in the part of the tree that's showing, I've got to know thoroughly how it is anchored in back of the
house."
I find that remarkable. He could draw the tree above the house with such authenticity because he knew exactly how the thing was in the ground."
I love that illustration! It reminds me that in order for each of us to show true authenticity with our Christianity, that we need to know where our roots are. Are you rooted in a firm place with Jesus today?
Have a great day and god bless!
P.S. I couldn't find the Andrew Wyeth painting that I referenced above...but the painting above is a rendition of his work.
