Sermon on the Mount

Taken from the passage of Scripture in Matthew 5-7.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

Many artists through the centuries have painted the Sermon on the Mount using the background landscape of their country.

This painting has the background of the mountains and rocks down highway 280 at Caritas, Alabama.

I had been out painting an old barn as a stable when a young girl asked me to come back to their mass that evening. I did not realize the mass was high up on the mountain and on a very sloped series of rocks. I was very thankful to come back down safely and put the scene of the painting in daylight hours.
