Precious in His Sight

"Precious in His Sight" is an original mixed media painting on stretched canvas, 24" x 30”. The wood floater frame has a black matte finish and measures 25.5" tall by 31.5" wide by 2" thick. Wired and ready to hang.

When I was a child I learned a song with these words: 🎵 Red and Yellow, Black and White, they are precious in his sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world. 🎶 These words are stenciled in the background of this composition. A world map is glued to the canvas, and I traced a bottle image around the world.

I found this bottle in a second-hand shop years ago. It has become a sort of muse that I have used in some of my other projects. Sometimes it represents a tree, or a woman's figure, sometimes it seems masculine... In this case it represents a group of people.

One day I noticed my grandchildren peeling the papers off their crayons and got the idea to use them to represent the rainbow colors. I saved these peelings in a sandwich baggy to add to this painting.

*I gave my 15-year old grandson a summer job uploading item data to my Etsy shop. He is an aspiring writer, so one of his duties was to write his thoughts about my artwork: ✒︎ Tybo’s Tall Tales: This is another piece about bottles, either this is later that night on the farm of @BottleOrchard, or his stash hidden in the back room. This may or may not be a sponsored painting. (Crayola, please don't sue)
