The Crucifiction
4'x5' acrylic on canvas
This is a painting that I'm surprised by every time I am doing it live. I have this fear that people will think that it is too graphic but I always hear the stories of how it touched people. One testimony that I heard this weekend was from a mom who was telling me that her son knew exactly what I was painting from the first strokes. He said, "I know Him!" and turned to his friend and said, "but you don't know Him..not yet." His friend said..."know who?" and the boy replied, "Jesus!". Then he saw me painting the red blood on His arm and face...and the boy said,"that was for me" and turned to his friend and said,"that was for you too!"
Once I painted this painting at a youth event where I was preaching while I painted Christ...that was fun.

Urban Painting Series
The "work", up to this point, has been paying more attention to my surroundings. Sitting. Watching. Recording. I have always been aware that there are many levels of life and death. While some of us find ourselves lonely and wondering how we got there and finding no motivation to change anything, others have their opinions on the matter...we ultimately have no response. And it strikes me that I am full of opinions. The journey will be one of awakened awareness and will create perhaps an opportunity for action. Did you ever drive a route for years and then decide one day to just walk the same space? What a difference! The things we see when we just take some time to step out of our bubble and absorb the new rhythm, new beats, new pace...Do it! Go out there and experience this new layer of Life!
Listen to your Heart...Beats
