My Father's Love marquetry exhibit at the Foulds Gallery

After church on Sunday, we stopped by the My Father's Love marquetry exhibit at the Foulds Gallery in Libertyville. 

The story is amazing and the pictures truly do not do it justice.  The artist, Ed Lantzer, was disabled as a child after a bout of scarlet fever. He could not even write or sketch, but was able to create stunning murals using small pieces of wood. After a vision from God, he created panels depicting different biblical scenes. 

Ed’s artistic signature is 6-22-34 and he has signed many of the panels this way.

6: is for the 6th book of the Bible—Joshua

22: is for Joshua chapter 22
34: is for the verse: “The children of Reuben and Gad called the altar, “Ed” for it shall be a witness between us that the Lord is God.” Ed’s artwork is a witness of his love for the Lord
