A farmer went out to plant some seed.

As he scattered it across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate them.

Other seeds feel on shallow soil with underlying rock. the plants sprang up quickly but they soon wilted beneath the hot sun and died because the roots had no nourishment in the shallow soil.

Other seeds fell among thorns that shot up and choked out the tender blades.

But some seeds fell on fertile soil and produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as had been planted.

So, this is my labor of love and inspiration of the past month. An illustration of the Parable of the soils from Mark 13. I was "commissioned" by my church for our upcoming sermon series that will run through the year.
Each panel is 3' x 8', making the whole painting 12' x 8'.
Blood, sweat and tears went into it (literally in some cases)
I hope people get it =)
