My Shepherd Rescued Me | Signed Handmade Art Print
“My Shepherd Rescued Me” is centered on Jesus as the Good Shepherd kneeling in the rough grass and reaching toward the lamb He has found, inspired by Luke 15:4–6. Warm light meets the earthy path between them, making Christ’s open hand the center of a tender scene about pursuit, grace, and belonging. Each fine art print is personally prepared and signed by the original artist, with framing and hand-embellished options available. “My Shepherd Rescued Me” original artwork inspired by Luke 15:4–6. Story Behind the Art “My Shepherd Rescued Me” shows the moment in Luke 15:4–6 when the shepherd finds the one sheep he has been seeking. The Savior does not call from a distant hill or wait for the lamb to make its way back alone. He steps into the same rough ground, lowers Himself near the sheep, and extends an open hand with welcome. At the heart of the parable is the Shepherd’s determined love: the one who wandered is not forgotten, but sought, found, and brought home with joy. I placed the lamb below Christ so the open space between them could hold the turning point of the story. Jesus’ outstretched hand creates a gentle path across that distance. Warm light gathers on His robe and the lamb’s wool, while the surrounding grasses remain textured with gold, umber, and shadow. The contrast makes the rescue feel both personal and immediate. Hope has entered the difficult place, and the Shepherd has come close enough to be trusted. There are many ways to feel lost. Our own choices may lead us away, but grief, illness, exhaustion, uncertainty, or circumstances we never chose can also leave us feeling isolated and far from safety. But the Savior takes the initiative to seek and restore. His rescue offers a steady assurance: Jesus sees us, comes near, and remains faithful as He leads us toward belonging and home. “My Shepherd Rescued Me” is especially powerful for someone returning to faith, beginning recovery, marking a baptism or confirmation, serving as a missionary, or walking through grief and change. Display it in a living room, bedroom, church office, or prayer space, or give it as a compassionate encouragement gift. I hope this painting becomes a quiet testimony in your home that no one is invisible to the Good Shepherd, no distance lies beyond His mercy, and He rejoices to bring the lost home. Additional Details Art prints ship unframed unless a framing option is selected. This artwork is offered in one portrait composition. Cropping varies slightly by size, and I carefully prepare each crop to preserve the connection between Jesus, His open hand, and the lamb. Expect a slight variation in color depending on your device’s display settings. Each art print is listed by sheet size with a half-inch margin around the artwork. For example, a 5x7 print contains artwork sized at approximately 4x6, surrounded by a half-inch margin so the image can be framed without losing important details. Printing Process: Each print is created with a high-quality giclée printing process that reproduces the warm light, natural earth tones, and painterly detail of the original artwork. Ink and Paper Quality: I use acid-free archival inks and museum-grade fine art paper so each print remains vibrant and fade-resistant for generations when displayed and cared for properly. Sizes Available: Prints are offered in multiple portrait sizes to fit a variety of rooms and framing needs. Each crop is prepared to preserve the visual relationship between Christ and the lamb. Handmade and Signed: Every print is personally prepared and signed in the margin by me, the original artist. Packaging and Shipping: Each print is packaged securely using protective materials appropriate to its size. Tracking information is provided so you can follow the artwork on its journey to your home. Care Instructions Display away from prolonged direct sunlight to protect the color and prevent fading. Frame standard prints behind UV-protective glass or acrylic when possible. Handle the paper with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves. Avoid rooms with excessive moisture or rapidly changing humidity. Dust the frame or protective glazing gently with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. With thoughtful display and care, your print can remain a meaningful and inspiring part of your home for years to come. Hand-Embellished Print Option For added painterly texture and a more personal connection to the artist’s hand, choose a Hand Embellished finish. I personally apply professional acrylic paint and gel medium to selected areas of each print, following the light, color, and movement of the original painting. Artist-applied brushstrokes add depth and subtle variation to Christ’s robe, the lamb’s wool, the surrounding grasses, and the warm highlights, making every embellished print one of a kind. Because each piece is finished individually, the hand-embellished option requires additional creation time. The finished piece is a hand-finished fine art reproduction, not an original painting. About the Artist My name is Chris Brazelton, and The Painted Gospel is a ministry created to share my original Christ-centered art. Every painting begins with prayer, study, and reflection on Scripture. My hope is that each piece brings the light of Jesus Christ into homes, strengthens faith, and helps families, friends, visitors, small groups, and congregations remember the truths of the gospel.
