Description 12"x16" acrylic on canvas

Wisdom doesn't beg to be accepted. It is offered, and if rejected, it leaves. Why force treasures into the mouths of fools? I am too often that fool.

Part of my "Proof of Faith" exhibit hosted by Art Whino in National Harbor, MD.

This reminds me alot about my schooling...at the moment, i'm at a school where I actually want to learn. At my old schools, I didn't really care. Sometimes, wisdom needs to be presented to us a way which we can connect with it...
I like this concept alot. I know i probably overuse this word, but this is wonderful.

I think, at one point or another, we become that fool.

I love the imagery and colors of this one. It really is amazing.

I love the meaning of this one and the way its been depicted... I feel like it happens all too often. But to know that you can sometimes act like a fool is to not be one.

Job 32

32:7
I said, 'Age should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.'

32:8
But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.

32:9
Great men are not always wise, Nor do the aged always understand justice.

32:10
"Therefore I say, 'Listen to me, I also will declare my opinion.'

Yes, yes. And Proverbs 23:9

"Do not speak in the hearing of a fool,
For he will despise the wisdom of your words."

You know you inspire me to make art for God(I'm ashamed to say that I only made art for the proses of making something) . I found your profile be accident. I think God is trying to tell me something.

Amen! That is great news to hear. He gave you the talent. You should give it back to Him and He will bless you for it.
