Paintings on Canvas

Calming the Storm
Size: 18" x 24"
Medium: Oil on canvas
Date: 2007
This was the first painting of which limited edition prints were published. The print sizes are 18" x 24" and 10" x 13". The prices for the prints respectively are $29.95 (+S&H) and $11.95 (+S&H). There were 3,000 prints made with 100 artist proofs. Jesus is dressed in red to represent the blood that He shed, while Judas Iscariot is robed in green. Just as green is opposite red on the color wheel, so Judas was the opposite of the righteousness of God. His hand is also grasping the money bag in this picture. Some of the hidden scriptures in this picture can only be seen in the original painting.

The Tempest
Size: 16" x 20"
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Date: 2004
This painting also depicts a ship that is weathering a storm. The Tempest was painted while I was teaching art class at the Department of Youth Services for the juvenile sex offenders. It was a fairly quick painting that illustrated many different painting techniques for the students to grasp.








Dragonflies and Ladybugs
Size: 24" x 36"
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Date: 2005
This painting was commissioned for a baby's nursery which had a ladybug and dragonfly theme. The colors were taken from the crib blanket to match the room.









Jack
Size: 24" x 34"
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Date: 2007
Jack was painted for a client who wanted this as a gift to his wife for Christmas. He commissioned me to take pictures of his dog in a park and work from the picture that he liked the best. The background was replaced with a scenic view of Yosemite National Park.






Ali-Bama
Size: 18" x 24"
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Date: 2007

Ali-Bama was painted as a result of Jack. A woman who worked with Jack's owner wanted her dog painted as well, so she commissioned me the same. This painting was gallery wrapped for this client since she did not want to have the picture framed.
