New Checks

I found myself running a little low on my current set of personal checks. I also found the current set to be a bit to dark on some of the images.

I decided to find if I could find new checks with a religious theme. I was able to find a few companies that sold them; but surprisingly, there were very few checks available with Jesus on them. I found that disappointing. Possibly it might be because you don't want to offend anyone by sending them a check like that. I look at it as witnessing and find nothing wrong with it.

I purchased the checks from Bradford Exchange Checks. Details for the check I ordered may be found here.

The checks were called "Jesus, Light of the World" and are part of Greg Olsen's Christian Art Series. Greg Olsen has created biblical-themed paintings that can be seen in more than 20 countries around the world. His subjects range from incredibly lifelike children to profoundly moving portraits of Jesus Christ in quiet moments of contemplation with God. Winner of numerous awards and accolades, Greg Olsen is renowned for his unique ability to capture not only a subject's likeness on canvas, but to illuminate the subject's soul and spirit as well.

Below are the four checks in the series.

I'll try to locate some of Greg Olson's other works. I really like his style.
