Jonah’s Prayer

Gloria Garrison – Finding it hard to portray the entire book of Jonah in one painting, I decided to concentrate on one aspect of the story. I selected Jonah’s prayer to God from inside the whale. Collaged abstract shapes and colors suggest underwater images of turbulence, seaweed, and roots of the mountains.

Bill Garrison – The image of the boat in a storm came to me while I was listening to the CD of David Itkin’s “Jonah.” I built a plastic model of the boat as a model for the painting.

Haley Garrett – This is a painting of a man sitting under a dead tree. The man is Jonah and he is crouched over in anger. The multi-color background represents the scorching wind God sends and all of Jonah’s anger and frustration.

Lizzey Furrey – Many people write meaningful things on the top of their shoe, usually Converse, which is illustrated in this drawing. The people who would own these shoes would probably have experienced a time in their life when they felt God calling them to do something frightening, and they ran.
Journey

Rex DeLoney – “Journey” is my interpretation of the Prophet Jonah’s prayer in the belly of the fish (Jonah 2:2-10). The additional visual imagery ranges from the Great Fish (Jonah 1:17) to the Gates of Nineveh (Jonah 3:2) and ends with the tree that God placed a gourd on for Jonah to rest under (Jonah 4:6).
Salvation Resurrected

Rex DeLoney – Salvation Resurrected is a painting depicting Jonah’s metaphorical death, burial, and resurrection and its correlation to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. The mediums of choice were Acrylic Inks and Watercolor on Marbleized Watercolor paper. The monochromatic color scheme was intentionally selected to dramatically portray Jonah’s submersion and submission to God’s will. The imagery depicting Christ is intended to bring to life Jesus’ testimony to the scribes and Pharisees as a sign of who He is….and behold a greater Jonas is here. Matthew 12:39-41

Carol Funke – As I was reading the book of Jonah, I could see Jonah sitting on a hill with Nineveh below and mountains in the background. The weeds represent the gourd and vines. I then wrote a short poem about the picture.

Sometimes God Has a Different Idea…

Connie Fletcher – Our comfort…Our pleasure…Our happiness…Our worldly success. We have an agenda for our lives. A plan we’ve carefully thought through. But then, sometimes God has a different idea. His way, however, is often harder, sometimes more painful, and a loftier plan for us…For our character…Our completed purpose…Our relationship with Him…Our salvation.

Daniel Ellis – The clash of wills between Jonah and Jehovah is the central theme of the book of Jonah. All who follow God face this conflict of ego. In the end, we learn that Jonah’s complaint against Jehovah is rooted in his failure to understand that Jehovah loves all alike. This is demonstrated in Jonah’s disappointment in the loss of his shade when compared to Jehovah’s delight in the preservation of the Ninevites.

Daniel Ellis – In the end we can discover that Jonah’s rebellion against Jehovah is rooted in Jonah’s failure to understand that Jehovah loves us all alike. This is demonstrated in Jonah’s disappointment at the loss of his shade when compared to Jehovah’s delight over the preservation of the Ninevites.
Jonah’s Prayer

Malia Edwards – This image is of a parent showing a child how to pray. This relates to Jonah because God showed Jonah what to do and how to do it. However, Jonah was disobedient and stubborn just as a child is sometimes. Therefore, God had to put him back on track and show him the way once more. As children of God, we often stumble. Yet, God is always there to forgive us and give us a second chance.
The Whale

Katie Easley – This is a very small painting that is done with tempera and oil pastels. I made it very small so the attention to God having Jonah swallowed by a whale would bring the viewer closer, more intimately.

Tim Dwyer – This is a picture of the fish that God sent to swallow up Jonah in the raging sea. This was part of God’s sovereign plan to save Nineveh as well as a merciful provision for Jonah. We can never escape God’s
love no matter how far into the depths of the ocean we might go.

Megan Douglas – I was inspired by a piece of art that I found on the internet and by a verse in the book of Jonah. I also wanted the frame border to look somewhat life-like.

Richard DeSpain – The whole story of Jonah’s being on the ship and the men throwing him overboard, being gobbled up by the whale, and being released on the shore, is just a thoroughly interesting event and story to me.
