"Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights." (Jonah 1:17)

I have always loved the story of Jonah and the whale. When I read the scripture that said that the Lord had "prepared a great fish" to swallow the recalcitrant prophet, my imagination took off. If I were preparing a magical fish, it would be no ordinary whale or grouper! So I painted my version of Jonah's special fish. The window is one way glass. The effect would be ruined if Jonah could see out!
