This small Proverbs 3 painting was made using just 2 colours plus white. The image of the woman holding her cross necklace came from verse 3, "Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart."

Below this, there is a lighted path through the dark forest came from verses  5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

I also loved verse 18, which describes wisdom: "She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her;  those who hold her fast will be blessed."
