Liz Lemon-Swindle portrays a Saint John's story about the divine attribute of forgiveness. Knowing that Jesus took pity on sinners, The Scribes and Pharisees tried to catch him condoning disobedience to the Law. They brought before him a woman taken in adultery and said, "Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?" Jesus stooped down, writing on the ground with his finger, as though he had not heard them. When they continued asking, he said to them, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." And he continued writing on the ground. Convicted by their own conscience, they left one by one. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, "Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee?" She said, "No man, Lord." And Jesus said unto her, "Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."

As with "The Lamb of God," Liz seeks to fill in some of the space “between the lines” of what we commonly read about the life of Christ. “In several places,” Liz says, “scripture records Christ’s love for children. I wonder what children thought of him? I imagine scenes similar to this would have been common occurrences.” It is the same imagination for the common occurances in His uncommon life that breathed such life into the now sold out Be It Unto Me (shown bottom right). Few have captured the combination of inner light and humanity in Christ the way Liz has.

“Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.” — Matthew 25:13
In the parable of the Ten Virgins, the Lord compares His Second Coming to a wedding feast. Ten virgins were invited to wait for the arrival of the newly married couple and guests. Knowing that the wait might stretch into the night, each virgin brought a lamp, but only five brought extra oil.
When the wait stretched longer than anticipated, five virgins ran out of oil. While they were gone in search of more, the Savior came with his guests and went into the feast. When the five returned and found the door shut they called to the Lord to open it. Swift came His reply,“I know thee not.”
“Can you imagine the moment when they realized that they would not be admitted?” artist Liz Lemon Swindle asks. “Only half were ready for His coming.Which half are we in? Will we be welcomed, or will we remain outside with His words ringing in our ears, I know thee not.’”

Beautifully combining her love for our Savior with her passion for painting, Liz Lemon Swindle’s personal vision of the life of Christ continues to captivate her ever-growing audience. The faith spread from Jesus through Liz to the viewer can be witnessed in this understatedly simple and moving portrait. “Simply put, I love Jesus Christ,” Liz says. “I love the life he lived. I love the example he set for me. Most of all, I take great comfort in the reality that he loved me enough to die for me. I am sure that in the years to come my thoughts and impressions of him will continue to change and grow, but one thing will remain the same—my need to testify of his love and life through art.”

"And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which has come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart."
- Luke 2:15-19

Artist Liz Lemon Swindle captures a simple gesture between mother and son in this intimate portrait of Jesus and Mary. "I created this painting because I find great joy in exploring the relationships between our Savior and the people he knew and loved," says Liz. "This wonderfully tender piece captures the great respect he had for his mother. In Aramaic, his spoken language, he would have called her "inta" (woman) however the title Mother connects the painting more to our modern culture and language." The painting Be It Unto Me, first in the "Son of Man" series, captured the essence of the relationship between the young mother and her newborn child. Traveling full-circle, the adult Jesus now holds his mother in his warm embrace. Even as he was dying, one of his last thoughts was for his mother's care directing her to John the Beloved with the words "Behold thy son".

Cameras roll and actors proffer gifts to the Child born to be King of Kings. With wonder and awe the child gazes upon the unusual gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. The expression on the child’s face is captured with dozens of camera flashes before the scene ends and the actors discard their elaborate robes. But for Utah artist Liz Lemon Swindle, this is the beginning. “By studying photographs from a dramatization of this moment between the wise men and the child,” Liz says, “I am able to better understand the sacred events that brought the Holy Men to Bethlehem. Their costly gifts to Jesus were not typical presents extended to a child to make him merry. They were gifts for a ruling monarch, in reverence to his birth as King. I created this work based on Matthew 2:1-16 which describes Christ as a young child when first visited by the wise men. The scene is often portrayed in the stable but according to the Scriptures, it could have been 18 to 24 months later.
The Holy Men is the fourth work of art to be published in the Son of Man Series. Portraits of the mortal life of Jesus Christ, from the first scene of Mary and the babe Jesus to the Holy Men—referring not only to the wise men but Jesus himself, has become the hallmark, if not the signature, of the artist.

As the artist explains, “There is a long period in Jesus’ life—after he taught in the temple at age twelve and before he declared his ministry—that remains unknown. We can assume that as a Jew, Jesus would have taken part in the centuries-old Passover ritual. At twelve he would have been considered a member of the community and expected to make the Passover pilgrimage from Nazareth to Jerusalem. I have portrayed the young Jesus with a sacrificial (paschal) lamb—symbolic of Christ himself, first-born and unblemished—to represent Christ’s sinless sacrifice.” Published from the artist’s original oil painting.

The artistic power of Liz Lemon Swindle’s emotionally charged image rests in the father’s face and the intense grasp of his hands. The true spiritual intensity evident in the father’s embrace of his wayward son represents God’s unconditional love for us. As found in all of her paintings, Swindle’s detail for humanity is channeled through the image and to her collector. One is hard pressed to find any difference between the emotion and relevance of such a scene then, and one that happens today, 2000 years later. The Prodigal Son is a reminder of God’s amazing ability to forgive and restore us, and of the human need for family and grace.

Mary Magdalene wept bitter tears at the empty sepulchre for the crucified Jesus was not within. On that celebrated Easter morning, the query "Woman, why weepest thou?" and Mary's affirmative answer, "Master" rekindled hope for "He lives!"
