Matthew 17:20b
This verse is done mostly in the Fraktur style. The phrase "it will move" is a modified Uncial style. The phrase "Nothing will be impossible for you" is highlighted with gold in the negative space. The word "faith" is also highlighted with gold. The first letter of this piece is enlarged, highlighted, and put in a box, with small mustard seeds in a pattern behind that big letter. The sketches of mountains help illustrate the verse.
Story Behind the Art
Jane Glosser is an interior designer who loves Scripture. She headed up a project for Trinity Baptist Church in Mt. Pleasant, TX, to display large framed verses (22"x28") in their new foyer. Their strategy was to have church members volunteer to sponsor the lettering and display of one of their favorite verses. I had the privilege of doing these verses. This is one of the pieces that was matted and framed.

"I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
