Faith of a farmer

This collection of images is about the faith of a farmer as seen through the eyes of an artist. The artist has not lived on the land but passes through it often, observing the changing colors, feeling hot wind or icy cold sleet, and inhaling the aroma of a newly turned field.

And while the images are of one farmer, one family, on one farm, they represent any farmer who turns the soil or raises livestock, relying on faith in God, trust in technology, support of neighbors, and a quiet confidence needed to produce every single time they begin a new season.

The faith of a farmer is reflected in a daily walk with God that leads his family, honors the sabbath, and produces bountiful fruit.
