The Parable of the Tree








My inspiration for "The Parable of the Tree" mural is taken from one of Jesus' parables:


“The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.” 
Matthew 13:31,32


Instead of a mustard seed, I have used a Boab silhouetted against the brilliant colours of the West Australian skies with a community of people of all ages from diverse backgrounds at leisure and play beneath the tree. It is a message of hope, a labour of love and a gift to the people! I have been greatly blessed to have had the opportunity to do this work.
