“He Calleth Them All By Their Names”

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.”

Are you blind that you can’t see the difference?

“Are you blind that you can’t see the difference?” “Estas ciego que no puedes ver la diferencia?”

This piece was inspired by an episode of Star Trek that I saw back in the 1970s. The episode is The Last Battlefield S3 #15.  It dealt with a planet in which the citizens had been at war with each other for thousands of years. The difference apparently was which side of the face was black and which was white.  This show left a lasting impression on me.  And here we are more than 50 years later and it seems that nothing has changed.  We as a nation seem to still be in conflict with each other and any new immigrants. 

The painting is trying to bring attention, as the show that inspired it to how much we are alike and deep down we are all looking and dreaming the same things.  Only superficial differences is what makes us feel we are different.

“Una Cascabel Y Sus Peyotes”

snake with peyote cactus

This is one of the paintings that is part of a series that I’m working on dealing with vanishing ecosystems and the animals that live in it. I’m using less common animals, which tend be less “loved” to highlight that all of God’s creation serves a purpose. The series up to the moment includes this piece ” Una Cascabel y Sus Peyotes”, “Gulf Stream Life”, “Sunset at the Pond”, “Flounder and Friends”, and “Hierba de Alacran” .
