This was a painting that i did awhile back. the title comes from luke 19:40, when the pharisees wanted to disciples to shut up, but Jesus says 'that even if the disciples keep quiet, the stones would cry out.' meaning that even though God wants us to share with others, if we did not, everything in nature would scream out his glory. i can no longer look at tree or watch a sunset without thinking about it's creator. which is exactly why the bible also says that people are without excuse because of what has been seen by what has been made around us.
