I was asked to create a set of paintings, only thing the collector desire was to use brown and sage as part of the colors. “Where the Robins Come to Rest” is part dealing with fall and the change it brings as far as things turn back to dust and spring were we see new birth. Since I live in an area of the America that it’s mostly two seasons, I chose to focus on that and leave winter as non existent, at least in my area. Rest the Robins find is similar to what we in our busy lives can search for and also find.
“He Calleth Them All By Their Names”
In this captivating artwork, a remarkable arrangement of colors commands the viewer’s attention. The intricate swirls meander across the surface, fostering a feeling of movement and life. The piece’s bold blue background transitions into a warm golden field, portraying a scene that is both earthy and celestial. The curvature and depth woven within the swirling patterns invite exploration, as if beckoning one into an ocean of dreams.
The fish, gracefully nestled within these currents, symbolize the unity and flow of nature. This work embodies timeless themes of connection and the intricacies of life, serving as a reminder of the delicate balance that exists within the natural world, resonating with universal emotions and experiences.
The Title of the image was inspired by Psalm 147:4
” He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.”
Layers: Trying to Control
The inspiration for this piece and in part for the series.
Matthew 6:34: Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
We try to plan, set goals and control our lives, and also paint over the past mistakes. Create layers over the past, possibly failures, but at the end of it all only God can truly create a clean slate. We can try to control as much as possible but one simple phone in the middle of the day can change the outcome of our plans. Control seems doable, but only God knows our future. He really is the one in control.
Layers: The Process.
My first piece in a series which has a tentative title of “Layers”. It follows a bit on my previous body of work, Changes, which dealt with an abstract view of our lives has they go from dreams, goals to reality. This series in a way will deal more with how we are, beings of multiple layers, with good, bad, happiness and sadness. As we explore our lives paths with acquire different experiences, which mold us into our present selves. I hope to do it justice.
Changes XVI: Life Is But A Vapour.
New work in progress.
New work in progress, part of the series Changes. The series was started back in early 2025. It will consist of 20 pieces of similar size: 18×24 or 20×24. At this moment I’m down to 4 pieces to complete the series.
Changes comes from an initial inspiration I had about how our life might start out with many goals and dreams of success, fame, riches or even a simple life style. With time some of us achieve many of the goals while others might not. But is about the process, the journey which we strive in. Back in 1993 I embarked on a second set of goals and dreams. While in the first part of my life my main goal was to achieve fame and wealth. That change in 93’ drew me to see life differently and to reevaluate my dreams and goals. Thanks to God my life turned for the best once I let the Lord be my dream, my goal and my guide. To be continued…
