Original Hymn Art — “Onward Christian Soldiers”
 
This original painting is a gentle departure from my more layered works, allowing the background to do much of the storytelling. Soft vertical strokes of coastal turquoise, misty blues, muted purples, warm gray, and hints of off-white create a peaceful, spacious atmosphere—like light moving across water or sky after a storm.
 
Nestled within this calm is a small but joyful bouquet, rich with texture and movement. The flowers rise from a vase formed out of the hymn “Onward, Christian Soldiers,” with vintage sheet music. The contrast between the quiet background and the lively, dimensional florals speaks to faith that perseveres—steady, hopeful, and quietly strong.
 
This piece invites reflection rather than noise. It’s a reminder that sometimes strength is found not in boldness, but in steady forward movement—one faithful step at a time.
 
Perfect for a desk, prayer space, bedroom, or any place where you want a sense of calm encouragement and gentle resolve.
