Edward Thomas
Edward Thomas - My Testimony

As far back as I can remember I always wanted to paint, but the career in art for which I had hoped never materialised and so painting remained an occasional hobby.

My working life was spent in engineering, starting in a drawing office but gradually scaling the ladder to management and executive status. Through all this time there was a frustrated artist wanting release, an ambition still not fully achieved.

As far back as I can remember, too, my family was steeped in Methodism and for years, on and off, I followed the pattern.  Always, though, I was searching for more – not always diligently, I must admit.  It was in my early forties that I discovered something I had never been told, that not only did I need a personal relationship with Jesus but that I could actually have one and, at a Bible Week in 1975, I discovered the truth for myself.

Suddenly my paintings took on a life themselves, light and colour taking the place of dull drabness and, although I’m not going to make the National Gallery, I get great pleasure and can spend happy hours relaxing in front of my easel – that is when I’m not involved with God’s work in sharing the truth about His love and healing power.
