Paintings on Canvas

Misty Mountains
Size: 16" x 20"
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Date: 2003
This was a painting that came from the first scenes of The Two Towers movie from Lord of the Rings. As the camera panned through the mountains, I saw this view and though it might make a good painting if it had a cross on top of the mountain.

Paintings on Canvas

The Patriarchs
Size: 12" x 36"
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Date: 2008








The Patriarchs are a set of beautiful mountains located in Zion National Park, Utah. These three mountains were named after the Patriarchs of the Bible: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The overwhelming beauty of God's creation is hard to capture with just paint and a canvas, but the painting can remind us of how creative God is with this world that He has made. This painting is currently located at the Griffith Art Gallery in Pelham, AL.

Santa Paintings

Santa
Size: 12" x 20"
Medium: Gouache on canvas
Date: 2008
I have heard many Christians discussing the concept of Santa Claus. Will I allow my children to believe that Santa Claus magically brings all the "good" boys and girls worldly treasures on Christmas Eve? Will I teach them from the beginning that Santa is not real, but that his persona comes from Saint Nicholas? No matter how the matter is presented, Santa Claus is immensely visible to all from Thanksgiving through Christmas Day. This Santa Claus is meant to remind the viewer of the true meaning of Christmas through subtle symbols. The three gems on the sleigh represent the three gifts that the wise men gave to Jesus. The three holly leaves represent the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The larger, cross star represents the star that the wise men followed in search of Jesus, the Savior.
