What remains on the plate tells the story of what was given.
In Take, Eat, the remnants of a strawberry rest beside a cup of wine and a crown of thorns. The fruit has been consumed, its red stain left behind—a reflection of love poured out so another might be nourished.
Drawing on the sacred imagery of communion, this painting contemplates Christ’s invitation to receive the love He offered through sacrifice. As the opening work in Fruits of the Spirit, it asks us to consider the cost of the love that sustains us—and how we might offer that love to others.
Fruits of the Spirit
Nine original oil paintings by Jairus J Miller · 2026
What does it look like when the unseen begins to bear fruit?
Inspired by Galatians 5:22–23, this collection explores love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Through symbolic imagery and expressive color, each painting gives visible form to a quality we are called to cultivate within.
Together, these nine works reflect on the tenderness, struggle, and faith that spiritual growth requires. Each invites you to pause, see yourself within its story, and consider what is taking root in your own life.
We recognize the olive branch as an offering of peace. But who is willing to extend it?
In The Messenger, an olive branch rests upon still water beneath a sky illuminated with gold. A single white feather hints at the presence of a dove, yet the messenger remains unseen. The offering is before us, leaving us to consider where it came from—and whose hands might carry it next.
It is easy to desire peace while waiting for someone else to make the first move. Extending it asks something of us: the humility to begin a difficult conversation, the courage to offer an apology, the willingness to meet another person with grace while our own hearts are still tender. Someone must choose to make peace a decision, with the efforts to deliver the olive branch as a messenger.
As part of the Fruits of the Spirit collection, this work reflects on the peace God offers us and our responsibility to carry it into the lives of others. The water becomes a place of reflection, inviting the viewer into the space the messenger has left open.
