Acrylic on canvas
I did this painting for a sermon series at our church on Nehemiah the wall builder. I researched. The name of the queen is not clear but Artaxexes had a long and productive reign over Persia. Some rebellions were put down but in later years unrest contributed to the fall of the empire. Nehemiah was cup bearer to the king. Apparently as many as ten thousand were fed daily at the king's palaces. Since the queen was present I assumed this was a more private meeting. I show Nehemiah using cups to describe for the king the gates of Jerusalem. Though Nehemiah had to go Jerusalem to assess the walls etc. he was allocated lumber ahead of his trip; I assumed he had to make a presentation for how much he needed.
