Description
***Featured in the group Out Of The Ordinary on 6/19/2015. Thank you very much Lyric Lucas.***
An F3 tornado caused this 70 foot steel cross to bend to the ground. Two small wooden crosses were slightly blown over, but were not damaged. High upon a bluff, this landmark was viewed for miles. The beauty of the area, the sky, the cliff and the power of a tornadoes dangerous winds inspired me to paint this. This is the largest canvas I have used. It measures 4 by 5 feet. Painting on a large canvas feels like going across country each time I paint a section. This large painting is for sale.

God has a way of getting us all to "bend" to "yield" to His ways, doesn't He, Randy! We may not be so willing, though, striving to have our own way.But, He does seem to know when to put obstacles in our path that make us stronger in the long run. This is a great image, Randy! I can't imagine painting on such a large canvas! Must not have been easy, but, oh, what it yielded! L/F
Rand Burns replied:
Marian, thank you for recognizing not only the size of this painting, but its significance. Many times I drove to view this scene from the tornado damage. I appreciate especially your finding this piece and for the L/F.

Wow randy such a big canvas. Nice scenery. Its an interesting art work. It reminds me of the saying that "the tallest tree catches the most wind. I.E. The most important/significant people get the most attention and challenging things coming their way while the smaller guys don't get seen. At least the big guys are recognized and leave a mark. Nice work.
Rand Burns replied:
Michael, thank you. Once again, you always see what most people don't. I hope you received my e-mail and are doing well. Keep creating!
