Lion Head

Acrylic and Oil on canvas 12"x16"

Here is a painting that I did in my studio last night. And I am working on producing the video of the painting. My last video art painting of Christ was recieved well and I was touched and pleased with the variety of stories that I heard and how much it was shared with friends. Thanks guys! But what I was touched by the most was a little 8 year old girl Mackenzie who saw the video and wanted to pause it and she sat down and drew her own picture of Christ. So I did this painting for Mackenzie because she loves animals. And I am pleased to have presented it to her today with the video of the work.

Art belongs to children.

Seascape

Oil on Canvas 13"x34"

This is a small piece that was fun to paint. I feel so good about many things being organized in my life with me and my family. Even though it's not clear as to what will come I am sure that the big picture is coming together nicely. I always default to painting the sea. I am not an obstructionist although I love when things are ambiguous and this painting will help me take my next step. Painting is not about subject matter but more about application of product and connecting; in the end we are nothing more than spirit.

Journey to Jesus

Here is the video that Shari and I recorded for you to see. Enjoy!

Jesus Painter

3'x4' Acrylic on canvas

Here is a performance painting that I did in my garage studio and if I can figure out how to upload the video you can see me paint this from start to finish. It's a very quick painting but very fun to do. I actually copied it from the real "jesus painter" but that's just me. When I see somthing great I want to paint it! And I love Jesus!

Peace

excessive, exaggerated anxiety

Oil on Canvas 3'x4'

I've been drawing and thinking lately(and playing my wifes guitar writing an indie alternative song) so needless to say tonight was a random act of painting! I found great joy in watching my oldest daughter find her way through a painting last week. (which I will post on this blog on a later date) Teaching my kids to draw and paint is importaint to the work that goes into a piece of art. And this painting is one Ive been dreaming of for many years. I worked under Eugene Garin and he was the master at seascapes. One of his works led me here and I will forever be grateful for the little but enlightening time we spent together. I love the feel of oil and will be tweeking this painting for awhile to really learn some things.
