"You will live in joy and peace.
The mountains and hills will burst into song,
and the trees of the field will clap their hands!" Isaiah 55:12

I should name this painting "clapping trees transformed" because it looked like this a few months ago until it begged to be changed. But the painting did not posses the power to transform itself. The artist was the only one who could do the changing. I knew it could be more than it was so I recreated it into a new and better image. I tell you this story to illustrate a point about my faith. It is wrong thinking to believe we have to change in order to be a Christian. It is actually just the opposite. Christ, the creator God, is the one who transforms us.....until we look so much like Him that there is an unmistakable family likeness.

"Do not fear change, for I am making you a new creation,

with old things passing away and new things continually on the horizon."

2 Corinthians 5:17

What started as a skill building exercise, inspired by Karin Jurick's Bust-Ed series, has turned into this 64 piece collection of 4" x 4" paintings. I learned so much....like painting an evil guy in pink makes him look less evil. Some of these guys look eerily familiar. Below are close ups of a few of my favorites:

"So it's paramount that you keep the commandments of God, your God, walk down the roads he shows you and reverently respect him. God is about to bring you into a good land, a land with brooks and rivers, springs and lakes, streams out of the hills and through the valleys. It's a land of wheat and barley, of vines and figs and pomegranates, of olives, oil, and honey. It's land where you'll never go hungry—always food on the table and a roof over your head. It's a land where you'll get iron out of rocks and mine copper from the hills."

Then Jesus said, "God's kingdom is like seed thrown on a field by a man who then goes to bed and forgets about it. The seed sprouts and grows—he has no idea how it happens. The earth does it all without his help: first a green stem of grass, then a bud, then the ripened grain. When the grain is fully formed, he reaps—harvest time!"

This is the painting I submitted for this years
Arts Festival at our church, Park Cities Presbyterian

Let Earth receive her King!

The famous hymn, “Joy to the World” by Isaac Watts, based on Psalm 98, inspired my painting of our Lord’s birth. The explosion of color in nature depicts the earth’s joyful response to her creator King. On that historic night, heaven and nature sang. The fields, floods, rocks, hills and plains repeated the sounding joy.....and one day He will come again and the entire world will bow a knee and claim Jesus as Lord!

fibonacci nude II

2009-10-10T15:59:00.000-05:00

"...she shall be called 'woman,'" Genesis 2:23

To me, Fibonocci's spiral is evidence of a creator God. His fingerprint is seen throughout nature in this spiraling pattern of mathematical genius. From this numerical series we get the golden rectangle, the golden mean, and this beautiful spiral. This series of numbers is found in natural dynamic growths of all kinds; mating rabbits, population growth and even bacteria. The spiral is seen in nautilus shells, succulent plants, the sunflower, the pine cone, the human ear, an ocean wave, schools of sardines, and the very galaxies above us. This blueprint that combines math, science and beauty causes me fall down and worship this omniscient God.

Artist, Charlotte Seifert, was my first art instructor at SMU's continuing ed program at the Meadows School of the Arts. When my daughter Stephanie was in high school and building her port folio to apply to Parson's School of Design, we took a life drawing class from her. Charlotte and I have since become good friends and she is a great encourager and inspiration to me as an artist. She is represented by Norwood Flynn Gallery here in Dallas and her next show is October 17 - November 7.

I hope to see you next week at the Tseelana Market where my art will be available for purchase benefiting the Wilson Foundation. See my blog for details and click here for pricing.

The Genesis, Aboriginal and Organic Abstract Series were all created as a result of her valuable instruction. This Friday, August 28, 2009 is the opening of her solo show at Valley House.

"Mary" is part of the Organic Abstract Series which will be presented October 8th and 9th at TRU Salon, 2715 Fairmount, Dallas, TX and available for purchase benefiting the Wilson Foundation. The Wilson Foundation benefits orphans of AIDS victims in South Africa.

new life

2009-09-18T10:45:00.003-05:00

“….put on the new self,

which is being renewed in knowledge

in the image of its Creator.”

Col 3:10

I have just finished reading Dr. Greg Boyd's book, Letters from a Skeptic. In his next to last letter (pg 181), Boyd discusses the process of transformation that begins once the leap of faith is taken. This process is totally radical to all other faiths in that Christ is the one who changes man, not man striving to be like God. The believer understands that he can never be holy enough for an all holy and perfect God; therefore the only way to be reconciled to his creator is through the work of a perfect and holy substitute.

God doesn't annihilate the old self or re-create a new self. He transforms the believer from the inside out. Something beautiful begins to emerge and grow. This is the love of God permeating the existing self. Our sin is absorbed in the cross and God then declares us righteous.

I don’t often do this but I thought it would be appropriate here to show you the under painting; a rather naive, whimsical painting of a tree. As the painting progresses, the old tree is slowly covered as the new tree, feasting only on God’s love, gradually grows and covers the old tree.

Now I have yet to meet a perfect Christian, self included. Therefore it is this process of continual transformation which is called living the life as a child of God. The final transformation takes place when we pass from this life to the next, shedding the old self completely.

Before sin entered the garden the earth was watered with what the Bible describes as a "mist" and not the rain showers we know today. At the onset of the great flood, water spewed from deep inside our planet and flooded its surface. Some scholars and scientists tell us the Continental Divide and parting of the continents occurred at the onset of this global flood.

This was her favorite piece from the Aboriginal Series

This is the painting that started my aboriginal series this past spring. I was artistically "stuck" and with some coaching from Mary Vernon, my art instructor at SMU, I was able to translate on canvas this passion I have for Aboriginal art. There are about 15 pieces in this series and they will be in the October show benefiting the Wilson Foundation.

I discovered collage artist, Lance Letscher this year and went to three of his shows in New York, Dallas and Austin. His work is amazing and even though this doesn't look anything like his collages, he inspired this piece which was auctioned at the Gordie Foundation's fund raising event this past June. I think collage is something I will enjoy doing more of in the future.
