Though his work is acclaimed and displayed in many countries
while adorning the walls of prestigious corporations, hospitals, and
institutions, Greene finds the greatest reward comes from letters
that he receives from people who have been touched by his
artwork.
Like the woman in a Florida hospital who was handed a postcard
showing Greene’s rendition of Christ guiding a surgeon’s hand in
“Chief of the Medical Staff” just before she entered surgery. The
card reminded her of Christ’s presence and she wouldn’t let it go,
holding on tightly even while unconscious all through the
successful operation.
Or the atheist from Toronto who saw Greene’s painting of Christ
entitled “The Invitation” on a Christian brochure and promptly
threw it in the garbage. Yet, every time that he passed by the
kitchen garbage can Christ’s face was staring at him. Eventually
he went to the advertised meetings and became a believer in
Jesus. The man’s life was forever changed. A picture can really be
worth more than a thousand words.
