Description

Thanks R Berman for confirming the artist's name and some backstory to his life!

I bought this because I think the image is beautifully done. I simply enjoy looking at it...and what better reason than that?

I think it is done in charcoal but I'm not entirely sure. Image area is about 10"x12".

so....BEHOLD!!!! THEN I AM STRONG!!!!!!!

Moody Press specialiszed in religious books. I read one of Frencena Arnold's other novels when I was a teen. This one is apparently about an orphan who perseveres through hard times. Its title comes from the Bible:" I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong." (2 Corinthians 12:9b-10)

There was a painter named DeWhitt Whistler Jayne, a distant relative of the more famous painter Whistler. Jayne was a graduate of Wheaton College; here's (https://recollections.wheaton.edu/2012/03/a-brush-with-reality/) an article about him. He would be a likely painter for this, both in terms of age and subject matter since Wheaton is a Christian college. Jayne painted two U.S. presidents, among others.

My hands, your fans
Tied up like tulips
Drifting, weightless
Great illustrated
I'd do anything to DeWitt
Why is it so hard to Jayne it?

My heart, your art
Upright like bookends
Pages between us
Whistler you know it
So many words Arnold’s saying
Don't wanna wait 'til it's gone
Then I am strong

I'm sorry if I say, "I need you"
But it's painter, I'm Arnold of love
'Cause when I'm not with you, Francena
Is that charcoal? Is it charcoal?
That’s “Then I Am Strong”

Now I am Strong

Born Alone with nothing but my DeWitts

Hard not to become Jayneded

Walk with bad luck and Whistler

But all that was makes my now

DeWitts Abound

Not Jayneded

A Happy Whistler

Now I am Strong
