In the sky framed by cumulous clouds, a child's hands hold up a baby chick. The landscape is a  thriving vegetable garden.

There are three proverbs from chapter 12 that go with this painting...

The caring child's hands come from verse 10:

The godly care for their animals,
    but the wicked are always cruel. 

And the fields and garden come from verse 11:

A hard worker has plenty of food,
    but a person who chases fantasies has no sense.

I also liked verse 25 so wanted to mention it here as well. People are like delicate little chicks, easily stressed, so we need to make an effort to be encouraging and build each other up:

Worry weighs a person down;
    an encouraging word cheers a person up.

THIS PAINTING IS #12 IN THE DAILY PROVERBS PROJECT

A painting every day in January 2018 by oil/acrylic artist Melani Pyke, to represent something from each of the 31 chapters of the Old Testament book of Proverbs.

The purpose is to discover wisdom through creative new visual images that represent God's word. I hope that you will take a moment to view the painting and quote, and think about what God might be saying. Please help support this painting project through prayer, spreading the word, and considering purchasing a painting or print.
