 Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.
~ 2 Corinthians 5:17 (RSV)
On one of our trips to the San Juan Islands in Washington, I took several pictures of an old barn south of Anacortes. I wanted to draw the barn with some flowers in the foreground. I decided to use tulips because of the abundance of tulips in the area...
