Original Watercolor by Aleen Gladney - Inspired by the parable in Luke 15:4, this tender watercolor captures the quiet strength and compassion of the Shepherd who carries the lost sheep home. Viewed from behind, the Shepherd walks forward with steady purpose, the rescued lamb draped gently across His shoulders. The rich crimson garment symbolizes sacrifice and love, while the soft, muted earth tones evoke humility and peace. The absence of facial detail invites the viewer to step into the scene personally — to see themselves as the one carried, protected, and restored. Loose watercolor washes and intentional drips create movement and emotion, reminding us that grace meets us in the mess and brings us safely home. This piece speaks to redemption, pursuit, and unconditional love — a powerful visual reminder that no one is forgotten, and no one is too far to be found. Perfect for a prayer room, living space, nursery, or as a meaningful gift for someone walking through a season of restoration.
