Newham- Pour over me
Sue Newham
As a Christian, I find that my faith in God pervades every aspect of my life and every aspect of my artwork. When I paint, I feel that God is part of the picture, even when I am painting a Welsh landscape or a flower.
I am definitely a colour person and usually work in either acrylic or oil paint on canvas. The smallest piece I have done is 12 inches square, but I much prefer larger pictures and have a couple on metre square canvases. I sometimes experiment with other media, including mosaic and silk painting. Paintings often combine more abstract backgrounds with figurative elements at the focal point. The themes centre on issues of life, faith and creation.
Pour over me by Sue Newham
This reflects my desire to stand and soak in the living waters of God.
The verse on the back of the greetings card reads, "I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water." Psalm 63 : 1

The waterfall image is one that has become very personal, capturing the cry of my heart, "Lord, I want more of your love, power and presence in my life!" This is the fifth painting of the same title and I am sure that I will paint more.
Darkness is as light to you by Sue Newham
Psalm 139 has always been so reassuring to me, reminding me that God knows everything about me and is always close by.
The verse on the back of the greetings card reads, "If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you. Psalm 139 : 11-12
Trinity by Sue Newham
A circle has no beginning and no end. This circle is a glimpse into the Trinity, where the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are one and yet recognisable separately.
The verse on the back of the greetings card reads, " But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." John 14 : 26
More Details
The symbols of the cross and the dove are commonly used to represent Christ and the Holy Spirit, but interestingly there is no widely used symbol to represent God the Father. I have used the creator's hand. In the centre the three distinct colours become white, in the same way that a spinning top with distinct colours becomes white or light grey on spinning.
