Daniel 1: Israel’s Captivity
This is the third of five illustrations for the book of Daniel chapter 1 from the Bible.
See the complete collection: Faith in Captivity.
For Israel’s disobedience God allowed their enemies to enslave them. The Babylonians were wicked and did not fear the God of heaven and earth. King Nebuchadnezzar conquered with power and pride.
Daniel 1: Before the King
This is the second of five illustrations for the book of Daniel chapter 1 from the Bible.
See the complete collection: Faith in Captivity.
After the time of preparation the king asked the boys many difficult questions, and in every area they were found to be ten times wiser than all the king’s counsellors. God had richly blessed their faithful obedience.
Daniel 1: Israel’s Idolatry
This is the first of five illustrations for the book of Daniel chapter 1 from the Bible.
See the complete collection: Faith in Captivity.
God’s people turned from Him and worshipped idols made from wood and stone, iron and bronze, silver and gold. They worshipped things created instead of the Creator.
As a Thief
Wicked people may seem to prosper without consequence, but God cannot be unjust. Every thief will be rewarded as a thief.
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Paul, Galatians 6:7
We are all guilty before God, but He made a way of deliverance. Will you receive His forgiveness?

Followed by a Leaf Is Published!
My labour of love, Followed by a Leaf, is finally published and in book form; it is the first title released by Parkinson Publishing. The book is ideal for children ages 4-9, but ages 1-12 may also enjoy the colourful pictures and playful story.
Availability
The book is currently selling for $11 CAD and is only available locally within a small part of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) of Ontario, Canada, for now (shipping is not available due to the high cost). Availability is quite limited; so if you’re interested, please let me know ASAP and we can work out the details. I will handle orders on a first-come-first-serve basis; once they’re gone I may begin taking orders for another print run, but I don’t know how soon that might be.
Since printing in August I have been fulfilling pre-orders, but now that those are finalized I have opened up orders to the rest of world . . . or at least to those in my small corner.
I’ll try to update the following section of the blog post to reflect the ongoing status of my inventory:
Status: Out of Stock

Ruby Riches — Watercolour
I completed the following watercolour illustration back in December 2021. Inspiration struck one day as I was exploring compositions. I wanted an image with a lot of different kinds of contrast — big/small, one/many, soft/hard, cool/warm, saturated/desaturated. I enjoyed studying how rubies interact with light.
