Blackout Love September '16 Acrylics on Canvas - 20" x 24" "When I meet you around the corner/ Oh, I said, baby, never let me be a loner/ And then you hold me tight, you make me feel all right/ Yes, when you hold me tight, you made me feel all right/" -Bob Marley "Satisfy My Soul" My first completed painting. Inspired by a love in a loveless place, romance in revelry and self-discovery. We need more love in our families, partnerships, communities, and world wide!
Father's Day January '17 Acrylics on Canvas - 16" x 12" It's always wonderful to see a strong relationship between a parent and child. I chose to highlight the bonding moment of son and father over a game of chess. A father, parent or guardian does so much benefit for a child when they pour time and interest into them. I encourage all parents to remember their childhood, and support their child in a way that puts a golden smile on their face!
"Members Of The Strong" June '17 Acrylics on Canvas - 12" x 36" "All you Israelites, trust in the Lord- He is their help and shield. House of Aaron, trust in the Lord- He is their help and shield. You who fear Him, trust in the Lord- He is their help and shield." -Psalms 115 : 9-11 In life, there are obstacles that sometimes seem larger than your ability. My experience has led me to be grateful for my faith, my brothers and my family, always on time.
Uprising #1 February '17 Acrylic on Canvas - 16" x 12" This stems from the countless conversations I have with people who see struggles everywhere they go. Everyone is like an open hydrant, until you ask for their solution or their assistance; their well runs dry. Prayers and support for all those who stand up not only for themselves, but for their beliefs and others. Today is a day for less of your question marks and more exclamations!
Dream Desert October '20 Acrylics on Canvas - 24" x 12" A background concept inspired by meditating monks of early Christian sects in the Levant & Northern Africa.
Resistemptation September '20 Acrylics on Canvas - 16" x 12" "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he shall flee." -James 4:7 Result of a class I was teaching. Quick painting (only 20 minutes). The complete surrender is what God honors, and was the idea captured after teaching the students basic color mixing. Snakes have many different meanings throughout history, and for this piece they are the rumination of both Seduction and Vainglory.
