BLACK EYE SUSAN

            BLACK EYE SUSAN

         Oil on Canvas - 16 X 20"


By Ruth Ferraz


This Oil On Canvas above is part of the ones for my Art Exhibition in the gallery in Fort Payne. You can see all the others here in this LINK.


In this post we will see my inspiration to fo the Oil on Canvas  Black Eye Susan painting for the Exhibition in the Gallery Boom Tom last July/2025paint. This cute flower I always see along the roads here in Mentone and Fort Payne, AL, specially in the month of September.  It is a wild perennial flower. It looks like a little Sun Flower, humble and simple, but with its own charm. Check it out the pictures I took today. I was tired this sunday afternoon to go, but I went in a hurry to get some pictures, before they would be gone by the wind:








The most direct Bible verses comparing life to a flower are Psalm 103:15-16 and 1 Peter 1:24, both of which state that human life is like the grass that flourishes as a flower of the field, only to be quickly gone and forgotten. These passages highlight the transient, temporary nature of human life and glory, contrasting it with the enduring Word of God, which remains forever.


Psalm 103:15-16 (NLT)
"The life of mortals is like grass; they flourish like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more". 

1 Peter 1:24: “People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades". 
Context and meaning:
- Fleeting nature of life
Both verses use the imaginary of grass and field of flower to enfase how brief and temporary human life is. The flower blooming beautifully, but soon is swept  away with the wind.
  • Contrast with God's Word:
  • -1 Peter 1.24 continues by stating, "but the Word of the Lord remains forever". This contrast suggests that while earthly things,  human life and glory are temporary. 
  • No wonder Jesus said that we should storage our treasures in Heaven, where the robbers not steal and the bugs do not eat.

God Is Still Writting MY STORY

Image
By Ruth Ferraz  I was born profundly gifted with  Artist Talent, but only late in life it started really to be unlocked and blooming, mainly because I didn't learn in school how to draw realistic or I didn't have some incentive for this.  The fact that I grew up in a dysfunctional  family didn't help in the artistic way also, because as a sensitive girl I was felling all the problems around me very deeply, what blocked my expression. I lost the beautiful self expression I had in Kindegarden and till 7 years old when my dad was still alive. After that I stated  to become a very shy and quite girl.  You can ask me as I know that I was born profundly gifted with artistic talent? And I will answer you that my amazing memory and sharp mind is part of my talents, an IQ above average has help me a lot and even makes me social different. It isn't easy to be a gift person, we need to be resilent with strength in the Lord to be happy, I depend in Him alone who provid...

MY PROFILE

Image
                                By Ruh Ferraz My interest in showing my Art isn't to sell canvas mainly, but to bring awareness to the importance of to work out the body and the eyes to connect the Hemispheres of the Brain and the mind, helping people to be enlightened and SAVED in this End Times. My mission is call attention  to the importance of enlight ourselves with natural intelligence  and wisdom the Lord gives us, specially through His Word, instead to enfase  Artificial Inteligence. Even worse is the Transhumanism, the mixing of Artificial Integence with the human mind. We can enhance not just our vision working out our eyes through the art or specific exercises, but  we can improve skills for life. People are expending too much time in screens nowadays and this is very harmful to the eyes, neck, shoulders, the all body, because provoke strain and tension.  The radiation with...
