God was still silent. Job felt near death. Many scriptures could have been used for this painting, but I chose this particular one because it is a question many still ask today.]]></description>

Job, in great pain, body wasted, also felt utterly alone. God was silent to Job through much of the book. The darker sky is symbolic of God's silence.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA["Job's three friends met together by agreement to go and sympathize with him and comfort him." - Job 2:11 (NIV)
Job's three friends came to comfort him. I painted them hollow because they missed the mark, believing that Job's pain and loss were the result of his sin. Even though the figures were hollow, I wanted to show movement, as they came to Job.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[God and Satan, discussing Job...]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA["Skin for skin!" Satan replied. "A man will give all he has for his own life. But stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse you to your face." - Job 2:4 (NIV)
Satan approached God and a host of heavenly angels, claiming that Job's faith in God, still intact after he lost his possessions and his family, would not stand if his own life were afflicted. God gave Satan authority to harm Job, but not to take his life.
My primary interest in this painting was to show God with a host of angels, and to communicate His strength and power, compared to Satan's. I found representing God's presence and a host of angels to be a real challenge.]]></description>
