A Little Leaven

[Jim Janknegt]

I finished a painting over the weekend: A Little Leaven based on the parable found in Matthew 13:33 "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough." I did this as a commission for Trinity Presbyterian Church in Nashville, TN. If the scheduling works out I may be heading to Nashville for the presentation of the painting to the church.

Any suggestions of things to do or see in Nashville?

That is a wonderful work you have there, very well done.

I just wanted to make a comment that's pertinent to another blog post of yours regarding your work. I think that one of the things that makes your work most effective is the use of unexpected elements (MacDonald's stuff, etc.). I don't think it would nearly as interesting without it (that's not intended to be a back-handed compliment). I think that is what gives your art and the prophetic element its currency. And frankly some of the high-end art Christian art galleries I have seen don't really seem to have true currency in contemporary art.
