Every time I go out to paint, I'm amazed at the beauty,
complexity, and originality of God's creation. Every
day is unique and offers different challenges and
opportunities for the artist. Being true to these
differences, accurately mixing the appropriate color,
value, and relationship I see before me achieves a
result of a certain realness in the painting.
In painting, light is always the main theme of my work.
Light gives form, color, and atmosphere to everything
we see. Without it, we would see nothing.
Thus, as it is in the natural world, so it is in our
spiritual world. Light gives meaning, reason, and
purpose to our existence. In nature, the source of
light is the sun. In our spirit, the source of light is
God's Son, Jesus Christ.
My entire life has been a search for truth. Until I
learned of Jesus and asked him into my life, I existed
in the darkness of my own interpretation of life. As
Jesus filled me with his spirit, he has filled my life with
the light of God and an understanding of truth.
With this talent God has given me, He has also given
me vision. A vision to see the glory of God in His
creation. This is why I paint.
May God bless you in your journey through life, and
may the light of Jesus shine through you.
