Indwelling is one of a series of paintings about the work of the Holy Spirit. It shows the Holy Spirit being part of our very being, once we accept Jesus as Lord.

“I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever.” John 14 : 16

Calming the storm

“He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm.” Luke 8 : 24

“When reading this account of the calming of the storm in Luke’s gospel, I was struck by the fact that professional fishermen were afraid of the storm. Then one word from Jesus restored calm. How often we feel as if we are in a storm that will overwhelm us, but Jesus provides the peace we need.”

Painting tip: I wanted to create a moody feeling in the sky and sea, so chose an ochre layer of under painting which can still be seen in the final picture. The colour you choose as a base layer has a big effect on the final outcome.” Sue Newham

I want to see, Lord

“A sermon about Bartimaeus, the blind man healed by Jesus really brought this story to life for me. I imagined the scene and drew some inspiration from Rembrandt for the two main faces and the darkened nature of the background. The preacher described Bartimaeus as a professional beggar who was used to asking for food, money and help, but when Jesus came along, he recognised him as the Messiah and had the faith to ask for something he had never asked anyone else for- his sight!” Sue Newham

May sunshine over the Severn

suenewham — Mon, 18 Sep 2023 15:30:43 +0000

On a glorious May day, I decided to take my painting stuff down to the river to paint “en plein air”. It was a beautiful day with people wandering across the rocks from time to time, to peer into the water. At that precise moment, I just didn’t want to be anywhere else. It was a time to relax and breathe.

The original picture is smaller then I usually tackle, because I had to make it portable. It is painted in oil paint on a canvas faced artist board and measures 30cm by 25cm.

The painting was finished in the studio as the sun moved around and my shady spot became too hot to continue outside.

The original painting is still available. See more information here- https://www.suenewham.co.uk/original-art/may-severn/

Autumn Glory (Dolerw Park)

suenewham — Sun, 26 Mar 2023 11:19:17 +0000

This oil painting captures a golden autumn scene in Newtown, Powys. Dolerw Park has a collection of amazing mature trees, and this particular day made me hold my breath at the beauty and stillness, with only the rustling of leaves and bird song.

Summer foxgloves

This painting was taken from a scene at the Roundton Hill Nature Reserve near Churchstoke, Powys. Sheep are kept on the hill to stop bramble and scrub growing up. This sheep was wandering among tall grass and foxgloves. A beautiful scene.

Trinity

suenewham — Fri, 01 Apr 2022 10:19:38 +0000

God the father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit are at the heart of the Christian faith. I have struggled to understand how one divine entity can have three distinct personalities, but struggling to understand has enriched and deepened my appreciation of who God is and how he loves. A portion of this divine mystery is revealed in the passage below in Matthew 28. I have painted a similar Trinity picture before, but wanted to paint a different design, using the skills I have developed since I painted the first one twelve years ago.

“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28 : 18-20
