"Montego Bay"

"Montego Bay" pastel was done for my wife on our anniversary. We spent our honeymoon in Jamaica. The canvas that God was using was much better than this. Our visit to this popular tourist attraction open our eyes to what life is like outside the United States. Sometimes we take things for granted. Beyond the walls of the resort was such poverty... it really made our hearts go out to the people there. Art has a tendacy to representing the beauty of a place. Perhaps more artist's should represent more work about some of the truth's about this world we live in. Perhaps representation should not be pleasing to the eye, but more pleasing to God! Perhaps actions need to speak louder than words! Especially from the person facing you in the mirror!
