"Bread Alone" acrylic on wood panel, 2023, 24x30 inches

This painting was inspired by the opening verses of Matthew 4 in the Bible. It is self-referential.

"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." Matthew 4:1-4
