The Door to the Sheepfold

This project was brought about by the Dean of the Art Department just before Christmas 2007. We were to illustrate one of the 9 characteristics of Christ. I chose to illustrate Christ as the 'Door to the Sheepfold.' A sheepfold is a safe enclosed area for sheep to stay, and this painting represents Christ as the door or entrance to that safe haven. Only by and through Him can we be saved. (Oil on Canvas)
