Description
"Psalm One"
Psalm One is one of my favorite Bible passages. If we plant ourselves in His word, God promises that we will be like a tree that yields an abundance of fruit, and that we will not whither up and become unusable.. The river of life will cause the work of our hands to flourish! I have committed it to memory and meditate on it often.
This is what prompted me to pen this first ink drawing in 2009. It was spontaneous and I used a few "at hand" references. It is part of my sketches collection... though it took me longer than just a few hours. I worked on it as the days grew long and the recession was in full swing. Business had slowed to a crawl and I needed to utilize the expensive counter that hadn't seen very many customers! It was new territory.
I hope you will enjoy this piece. But more importantly, I hope that you will look up the passage for yourself and be reacquainted with it. God's promises are true.
Psalm 1 "The Way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly"
1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3
He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
4
The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6
For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

You really have a unique style...just beautiful! Makes me want to go pick up some gel pens tomorrow! Your work is inspiring and encouraging!
Laurie Cairone
Beautiful work, Glenn! Your drawing and description spoke to me today in a very special way about walking in faith, not in fear. Thank you!
Nikolyn McDonald
A very beautiful creation, Glen, with enough detail to bring it to life and not so much as to obscure the essence of the tree. Nice description, too.
Glenn McCarthy Art and Photography replied:
Thank You Nikolyn. I hadn't looked at this in quite some time. Have a couple of adjustments to make!
Peggy Wilson
This is really wonderful Glen, I like hearing the back story to its creation too. So many beautiful passages of scripture lend themselves to illustration.

Thank you so much for stopping in and your kind commentary Peggy.
