A simple design that I feel is visually bold, this painting depicts the chariot of fire that took Elijah to Heaven. This is one hard image not only to paint, but to see. You have to be far away from the painting (or look at…

So many artists have depicted the scene where Jesus rose from His baptism, but I wanted to show another version here. Jesus, completely immersed in the Jordan, starts his public ministry. The painting turned out much darker than I would have liked. This was the…

The horrors of Hell cannot be perceived by our human thoughts. The Bible describes Hell as a place where there is much, “crying and gnashing of teeth.” Eternal damnation is total separation from God. I imagined Hell as a dark place where God’s light is…

How tremendous would it have been to see the parting of the Red Sea! This painting shows an underwater interpretation of this miraculous event. I had originally wanted to paint a silhouette of a whale shark (proven to live in the Red Sea), but I…

I’ve always found it concerning that there are people out there who claim to be Christians, but don’t seek to share the Lord’s salvation. It seems to me that they are too interested and focused on themselves that they miss the opportunities to minister or…

The feeling that this painting is meant to convey is that you are the Roman who nailed Jesus to the cross. You can see the top and sides of your helmet and your hand clenching the hammer poised over the nail. We are all sinners.…

Another painting that took a good while complete, the thorns almost drove me crazy. I am fairly pleased with how the painting turned out though. Amidst the thorns, you can just barley see the Arabic words spelling “grace.” I always recall the popular Sunday school…

David paled physically in comparison to the huge stature of Goliath. Not only that, but he had a formidable army behind him as well. I called this painting perspective not only because it makes the hand of David and his sling look like it could…

Jesus’ father was Joseph who worked hard for a meager living, and Jesus more than likely inherited his father’s work ethic. I was lucky enough to have a father with a high work ethic. The arms in this painting could belong to Joseph or Jesus…
