"Bread Alone" acrylic on wood panel, 2023, 30x24 inches

One day while I was studying Matthew 4, I was inspired to use the text of verses 1-4 to paint a still life with bread, playing on the meaning. We see just bread alone in the image, but it is formed by the word of God, so that it’s not bread alone after all. It is professionally framed with a gold floater frame.

"Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
