FINE ART PAINTING
Sarah Buell Dowling creates oil and watercolor paintings motivated by her love for Christ.
The oil painting on the left captures the joy of a Nepalese woman receiving her first Bible. The photograph that served as the reference for this painting appeared in The Voice of the Martyrs Magazine and was used with permission. Creators for Christ plans to donate a portion of the proceeds from sales of prints of this painting to The Voice of the Martyrs ministry.
The original watercolor on the left is inspired by the words that Abraham spoke to his son Issac: “And God Himself will provide the lamb.” (Genesis 22:8)
“I am drawn to create, by both beauty and whimsy, wonderful inventions of God to delight us and draw us to Him.”
