“Yemenite Bride.” Colored pencil on 19.25″ x 27.5″ on Strathmore watercolor paper. Duo-tone drawing in two colors – red and green – which make for a warm friendly brown-tone. This painting was done in Israel in 1982. The image is of a Jewish bride who immigrated from Yemen. These were the first Jews from deep in Islamic nations to hear from God to return to their homeland. They actually walked and upon arrival were rejected by the Israeli Jewish community because they thought they were muslims. Horatio Spafford, writer of the great hymn; “It Is Well With My Soul” had established the American Colony in Jerusalem. He became the go-between to explain to the Jewish community that these were fulfilling biblical prophecy by returning home at great cost to themselves and families.
