He
Leadeth Me by Mark Keathley

He Leadeth Me
is a self portrait but it is also a
depiction of Psalm 23. I wasn't intending to
portray the Good Shepherd when I began the
work, but rather a rancher simply watching
his sheep. I needed a model for the
shepherd, so I asked my youngest son to come
outside and "take a picture of daddy." In
the last second, instead of looking down
towards the sheep, something caught my eye
and I looked up for the photo. When I was
well into the painting, events in my life
came about that left me feeling lost and
confused. After seeing myself in the
painting, I felt comforted, because it
appears that the shepherd (me) is himself
being led. The painting which developed
before me depicted the Good Shepherd taking
care of his sheep and at the same time, I
saw myself and I knew that God leads us by
still waters.
In a time of uncertainty and confusion in
the world, my newest work inspires one to be
at ease and rest in the provision and plan
of the Good Shepherd. I tried to capture the
tender care of the shepherd in this self
portrait as well as my own faith in God's
leading in my life. He Leadeth Me
speaks of the Divine love and leading that
is available as one of His.
