Courage

This piece is very dear to me. I painted it out of a desire to draw courage from something and it far exceeded my plans. When naming him, someone mentioned that he reminded them of Aslan, from "Chronicles of Narnia" and I loved the idea so I pursued a name related to the books. I found the quote, "Courage, Dear Heart" and it immediately spoke to me. What I found out, later, was that the words were spoken to Lucy, in "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" by an albatross and when she heard it she knew it was a message from Aslan. God has spoken to me, through this piece, more ways than I can count. If you want more of the story, see my FB group. I can be found on Instagram, as well but the full story is in FB.
