Mark 5 tells us of an ill woman who had so much faith in the power of Jesus Christ that she, to be healed, reached out just to touch a scrap of His clothing. In a crowded place with a lot of attention on Him,…

Another action based painting, “Overturn” shows Jesus throwing the money exchangers and opportunists out of the temple described in the 21st chapter of Matthew. How impacting would it have been to see the calm, controlled Jesus react in such a way. Jesus’ reaction then was…

I little bit hard to see, “Lamb” shows a shepherd holding a young lamb. The brightest part of the painting is the hand securing the animal and not the sheep’s fleece. Mary’s little lamb this is not. A shepherd will search for a lost sheep…

“Listen” depicts the moment when Peter draws his sword on the soldiers seeking to arrest Jesus from John 18. I shaded the background first to emphasize the face and the sword. The most important part of this piece, however, is Jesus’ reflection in Peter’s sword.…

“Knowledge” is one of my few paintings that used oils instead of acrylic paints. Two shades of green (very close to the same shade) and an outline of a tree. I really like the simplicity of this painting paired with the length of time it…

This piece was filmed during its painting. The visual is simple enough – Jesus praying so intensely that He sweats blood. I wanted the painting not only to emphasize Jesus’ forehead, but also appear bright in contrast to the dark Gethsemane setting at the base…

Another simple concept, “Noah” shows the first drop of the rains that attributed to the great flood. I tried to make the hand of Noah to look both rough and weathered and very, very old. Noah was 500 years old when he began construction of…

I have seen many paintings and sketches (even coloring book pages) of Jacob physically wrestling with God. What I found to be most interesting about this was the fact that they wrestled from night into the morning and how Jacob (or Israel as he is…

For my fortieth painting, I chose to show Samson holding the donkey jawbone. This could be right before or right after the Nazarite killed 1000 Philistines. Obviously the jawbone and the length of Sampson’s hair are exaggerated, but how cool would this look as a…

Jesus fulfills a prophecy when He rides a donkey into Jerusalem and the people put their coats and palm braches on the street. The painting is a fairly simple concept, but it was very hard to pull off. Did you know that palm braches have…

The first painting of 2012 depicts the account of Elijah challenging the 450 followers of baal from 1 Kings chapter 18. Elijah and fire from heaven seem to collide quite regularly. I wanted to emphasize just Elijah and the fire, but the challenge was not…

I had been trying to paint something to visually represent “Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” This is ultimately what I came up with. I had to do a little bit of research to find out what…
