The Soul Harvest

The Soul Harvest is a 4ft x 5ft acrylic painting This work is surreal in style and Spiritual in content It was painted 2002 -2004 This painting illustrates the world as being a field filled with souls from ever corner of the earth needing to be saved from eternal death which is the punishment for sin But by the hearing and understanding and receiving of the good news that through faith in Jesus dieing for the sin of man man can be forgiven and have eternal life with God The farm tools leaning against the fence is a invitation to those who know Jesus to pick up talents God has given them and go in to the world and use them to spread the Good news the in side of the barn with the wheat sheaths standing up Is illustrating the soul that have received Eternal life through the work of the believer and the crown is their reward from God

Pardoned Not Paroled

Size 230 x 4 on canvas Medium acrylic painted 1994

In this painting the theme is with out Jesus there is no escaping our destiny to be punished for our sins and be cast into the eternal lake of fire The theme first was illustrated in a poems i wrote a year earlier under the same title The cell where this scene take place was inspired by a jail in Rome Italy where the apostles Peter and Paul were jailed at separate times

The skeleton figures one male and one a female represent the fate we will all face unless God saves us through His Son Jesus The clothing the figures are wearing are to represent different social classes God is no respecter of social class we are all are guilt of sin and noting out side of putting one faith in Christ will save us The skeleton figures represent those who reject Gods plan of salvation The figure Are chained by hand and foot to represent our inability to escape the judgment of our sin The figure Jesus Is dressed in a scarlet roman cloak which the Romans put on His shoulderalong with placing a crown of thorns on His head to mock Him as being the king of the Jews

I wanted to also show His face disfigure by sever beatings and show His beard ripped out which the Romans did to Jesus during the mocking I reframed from doing so because with out the icon Jesus look long hair and beard and mustache My viewer might not recognize who i was depicting Jesus also has holes in His hands and feet to complete the whole picture of every thing Jesus suffered to set man free from sin If you look closely you will see that Jesus has a key in His right hand He is setting The living prisoner free be cause the prisoner has excepted Gods plan to save him

The open cell door and the bright light represent once a person has been set free they will never come under the judgment of the lake of fire

The rat are to represent that we live in a cursed word because man had rebelled against God Sure there is still some evident of beauty in the nature worldbut there is greater evidence that nature and man are in a chaotic state

The Hand Of Fellowship

Medium Pen and Ink on Bristol Board

Size 11 x 15

Year of completion 1987

This rendering is part of a group of illustrations i did for a pamphlet that was published by a Christian ministry that reach out with the Gospel of Christ to the military service personnel stationed at a near by military base

I thought this rendering of a ranch hand shaking hands with a soldier was the best visual subject for the cover because it represents the hand of fellowship

The King Who Conquered Death

Painting size 4 ft x 5ft canvas

Medium Acrylic

Year 2002

This painting illustrates scriptures that show Gods plan to remove the power of sin over man and creation through the death of Jesus the Christ His only Son crucified and raised from the dead

the figures on the left illustrate John 3 14 - 15 where Jesus tells Nicodemus that just like the Israelites who were bitten by the serpents had to look on the bronze serpent with faith to receive healing from their bites so must sinners look with faith to Christs death on the cross to have the penalty for their sins removed

The figures on the right illustrate Matthew 12 39 - 40 Jesus is speaking to the Pharisees and Scribes who refused to believe He is Messiah When they asked for a sign Jesus told them the only sign He would show them was the sign of the prophet Jonah Just as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and three nights and then was spit up on the shore so would Jesus be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights then God will raise Him from the dead

The figures in the center of the painting illustrate Revelation 1 12 - 20 The apostle John describes the appearance of The Glorified Christ Who is speaking to him in a vision He describes Jesus appearance as being bright as the sun

God has put all authority and power over the earth and The Heavenly Kingdom in Jesus Hands Christ will reward the faithful servants of God and He will cast the unbelieving Satan fallen angels into The Lake Of Fire

Jesus has been given the keys to Death and Hades and He will destroy both

In His new kingdom there will be no place found for them for sin will not exist

Jesus the Christ is the churchs High Priest and He will offer up the prayers and praises to God on our behalf He empowers the church to do the work of God in a fallen world

I painted this illustration to publicly proclaim The Biblical account of a six literal day creation by the holy trinity to be The true account of the origin of all thing that have been are now and will exist I believe Evolution Theories have many wholes in them and lake sound evidences to declare Evolution as the true account of origin of all matter I believe school should teach both theories

and let the student decide which is truth for themselves

The three figures of light that are holding the hour glass represent the trinity The Father The Son The Holy Spirit Who together created all thing The back ground of the paint is suppose to illustrate the trinity created all things from nothing The hour glass is suppose is to appear to be made of pure gold

representing a creation with out corruption and decay which would latter be part of the curse the creation would be subjected to be cause of mans sin

The top and bottom base of the hour glass has the icon of the moon and sun six time to represent the six days of creation

The six spheres floating inside the hourglass represent the six literal day and what was created on each day The first day God separated the darkness from the light This spheres is placed at the bottom of the hourglass because sand in a hourglass always flows down

The second Day God separated the sky from the sea this is represented in the sphere located at the bottom right of the hourglass

The third day God separated the land from the waters Represented in the top half of the Sphere The bottom part represent the plant life that was created on the same day

Decision

Size 4 x 5 Painted on canvas Medium acrylic painted 1995

In this illustration i am trying to portray how active the spiritual world is in every day of our lives How heaven and hell these two kingdoms are battling it out to win our devotion Even when A person chooses to become part of Gods family the believer will still have to struggle with the forces of darkness as long as we live in these mortal bodies

The room is suppose to look like its on fire This is to represent the destiny of man spending eternity in the lake of fire if he refuses to be saved through God plan of salvation the two people in this paint are the two leader of the two kingdoms The Devil on the left Jesus on the right They are both standing at the door way that will lead to their kingdoms They are both beckoning the viewer to go through their door In this painting I want the viewer to understand that spiritual battle take place with every decision we face

When we come to a spit in the road our we going to choose the right road or the wrong road What ever road you Choose will sooner or later reap the reward The reward will either be destruction or blessing the blessed think is we choose

I illustrated the devil in a beautiful purple robe with gold sequence To show He is the king of the fallen angels Purple in the Bible was worn by king and governors and ruling authorities The purple hood is to show that Satan is a deceiver He will take truth and twisted into a lie kind of the way a person will put poison mix in peanut butter to get rid of an unwanted mouse

Most people dont recognize when the Devil is temping them because the only view of Him they have is the movie the exorcist But He is more effective when He appears in the form of a used car salesmen

The gold belt He wears and the golden door way represent His tactics to side tract us with the love of temporal thing such as the love of money fame power

If a person gain the whole world yet loose his soul what has he truly gained

Illustrated Jesus dressed in a golden Robe with a golden sash This represent He is the High priest who offered the sacrifice that appeased the requirement to deliver man from the power of sin and restore man back to fellowship with God The Father The door way to heaven is made up of the cross that Jesus gave His life on If you look at the painting closely you will see holes in Jesus hands and feet You also can seen on the cross from the blood and the spike marks where Jesus was nailed to the cross

The devils door has endless darkness of Hell where Jesus door has endless light of heaven

The rocking chair was designer to represent contemplation Their are hearts with question marks in side them on the head rest as well the seat I think of people sitting in their rocking chair when they have a big decision to make So i think before we make decision we should thing what will be the fruit down the road If I plant thistle when it grows up it will hurt me If i plant wheat when it grows up it will feed me

Foundation Of America

Medium Pen and Ink on Bristol Broad

Size 11 x 15

Date of illustration 1989

This Pen and ink illustration was done for the cover of a church statement of

faith I named this illustration Foundation of America because I believe

this country was founded by christian who had strong faith in the God of the

Bible and through faith prayer and sacrifice the patriots over came The

mighty British military By the hand of God A new nation was born The United

States Of America When the united states was filled with God fearing

people God raised The country to be a supper power and the world envied

the united states and flock to her shores the land of freedom and opportunity

Now this country has forgotten the God who Has given birth to her Now is

setting up new idols to worship idols of wood stone metals that do not

hear or see or care Because the united states has forgotten God It has

been plagued with storms tornadoes flood drought and her enemies are

raging war with her waiting to celebrate her full

It is my hope and prayer that people who love this country would return to

honoring God and return to giving Him thank for all the great works He has

done for this nation and turn from our sins and follow after God by obeying

His Word the Holy Bible That God would remove His hand of judgment

and His blessing may return to our country

This church was fist built in 1890 and still is being used as a church

it is located in Norristown Pennsylvania

This was the first Bible believing church I attended when I became a christian

The Creation Cries Out

Medium Acrylic on canvas

Size 2 x 4

Year painted 1998

This painting was done for my sister she loves Dolphins and she asked me when will i paint a picture for her When i consider doing this painting i thought about how could i design a illustration that would use the names of fish to teach her the attributes Jesus had being the Son of God and Savior of the world

The names of the fish who reveal some thing about Jesus character are labeled in red just as word that are spoken by Jesus are printed in red in a red letter edition Bible The fish who labeled are blue are different breeds of Angel fish

Three dolphin represent the trinity of God the Father the Son the Holy Spirit

The silhouette of the three men on crosses represent the price Jesus paid on the cross to buy man out of slavery of sin and deliver man from being cast into the eternal lake of fire

The black and white fish is called a Sheep Head John the baptist had call Jesus the lamb of GOD who would take away the sins of the world

The reddish orange fish is called a Flaming Angel John said that he baptized people with water to call themselves back to God and to repent from their sins He said that Jesus would baptize with fire the person called the Holy SpiritThe gold yellow colored fish is called the Shepherd Angel In the Bible Jesus is referred to being the good shepherd because He takes care of His followers as a sheep herder would take care His sheep He provides for their needs and protect s them from danger

The brow fish with the fanned out fins is called a Lion fish The Bible call Jesus the lion of Judea Jesus first came to the earth to deliver man kind from sin by offering His live to pay for our sin the second time He comes He will come to set up His earthly kingdom and rule over all the nations for a thousand years

The small fish with a scarlet color head is called a King Demoiselle fish Jesus will have all authority to rule over all the nations given to Him From God The Father

The large orange fish with the green fins is call a Rainbow parrot The rainbow represent a covenant between man and God Just as God put a rainbow in the sky once the great flood ended to remind man of Gods promise not to destroy the world by flood again So do we have a covenant through the blood of Jesus that if man will except the terms to be delivered from sin its eternal punishment and turn from pursuing a rebellious life toward Gods God will give them eternal life

The sleek brown and white fish is called a school Master Jesus spent his last three year of His life teach about who God is What heaven is like what hell is like What is sin and how it keeps man separated from God what is Gods plan to redeem man from sin He taught how man should live to be pleasing in Gods sight

The Meeting Bell

Medium Pen and Ink On Bristol Board

Size 11 x 15

Year illustration was completed 1987

This illustration was part of a collection of pen and ink rendering i did for a christian mission for their pamphlet that was published to inform the community surrounding churches and the military post near by of the services they offered and about their ranch Their main ministry is to the military service personnel and their families They offer a weekly dinner followed by a Bible study They offer a place where service personnel could spend the weekend at the ranch for free with meals included There would also be activities they could partake in such as going to concerts going to amusement parks visiting national park for picnics and hiking The ranch holds retreat for military personnel who are in training who want to learn about the Bible and enjoy good home cooked food rest and out door recreation in the country

This ministry also lends its facilities too near by churches and to the military chaplaincy for luncheons This ministry is a great work of God share Gods word and love through hospitality

About the bell I call this illustration the meeting bell because it sat right out side the activity center and when ever a retreat was being held the bell was use to let the guess know when a meal was being served or a Bible study was about to begin If you study the bell you can tell that at one time it must have been housed in some kind of church or fire house by the big wheel attached to its side so it can be rung by a rope Then when it found its self at the ranch they must have had a arm claker manufactured To strike the bell to sound

This rendering is part of a body of artwork I did while I was in the Military entitled The Army Years One of my most exciting ride on a helicopter was when I was serving in the US Air force- Civil Air Patrol we were helping the National Guard to figure out the fastest flight paths between hospitals for future Air transportation of patients

So while we were making a trial run I was strapped in a side seat with the door locked open we flew parallel to the ground the experience was awesome

One of the things I loved about Civil Air Patrol was doing a lot of flying

I served 9 years in the US Army during my 9 year of my serviceI was a Combat Engineer Anti tank Toe Missile Crewman Combat Medic I spent a lot of time in the field and one thing that is important to the support of ground forces is the pilots who fly the helicopters for the helicopter delivers supplies the mail transport troops air lifts wounded soldiers off the battlefield to the hospitals

Victory Through Prayer

Medium Water Color Markers on illustration Board

Size 2 x 4

Year completed 1991

This illustration is part of a collection of artwork I did while in the military entitled The Army Years

I served in the Army National Guard for 5 years and the regular Army for 4 years

One of the main reasons I got out of the military is because I didnt have much time to do my art work While I was stationed in Germany I did a few poster and banners for a German American Play house and I was in a European art show

This illustration was done during The Desert Shield Desert Storm during this war many soldier were afraid that are military equipment would fail to function do to the desert sand While i was station in Germany I attended a christian hospitality house that ministered to military personnel and their families I knew and heard of soldiers who died or were wounded in the war

we prayed for Gods protection for those we knew were in harms way

I believe the reason the casualties were low for the collision force is because God gave them a swift victory on the battle field No one should think that it was just might and smart bombs Iraq had the 4th largest military in the world

The bible teaches that God causes the rise and the fall of nations

Decoding the symbolism

The v with lighting bolt shooting out of it God giving the collision forces victory over the Iraqs military

The large bold eagle with the arrows in its right talon and with its left talon open to attack the US attacking Iraq

The banner mad up of the flag of the collisiontie to the eagles open talon

The US leading the collision nation in war against Iraq

The necklace with the cross attached to it around the eagles neck

God protect around the US forces result of intercessory prayer of Christians

The flag of Iraq illustrated in the shape of the geological area mass of country being shattered by the lighting God judging Iraq by giving the collision power to conquer Iraq and occupy her land

The land mass colored red at the bottom corner of Iraq the country Kuwait that Iraq invaded that was the cause of the war

The Vision Of The Four Beast Fourth Beast

Medium Ink and Pen on Bristol Board

Size 11 x 15

Year completed 1987

This rendering is part of a collection of illustrations I did for a professor who taught a course on the books of Daniel Revelation He used these illustrations in his teaching materials The course takes a look at the prophetic events of four different monarchies that will rise to rule over the civilized world then fall

Three of these monarchies have already come and gone through out history the fourth is going to rise and rule over the world during the end times

The Fourth Beast

Daniel chapter 7 7 - 8

After this I kept looking in the night visions and behold a fourth beast

dreadful and terrifying and extremely strong and it had large iron teeth it

devoured and crushed and trampled down the remainder with it s feet and

it was different from all the beast that were before it and it had ten horns

8 ) While i was contemplating the horns another horn a little one came

up among them and three of the first horns were pulled out by the root

before it and behold this horn possessed eyes like a man and the mouth

uttering great boast

The vision interpreted

Daniel chapter 7 15 - 27

15 ) As for me Daniel my spirit was distressed within me and the

vision in my mind kept alarming me

16 ) I approached one of those who were standing by and began asking

him the exact meaning of all this So he told me and made known to me the

interpretation of these things

17 ) These great beast which are four in number are four kings who will

arise from the earth

18 ) But the saints of the Highest One will receive the kingdom and

possess the kingdom fore ever for all ages to come

19 ) Then I desired to know the exact meaning of the fourth beast

which was different from all the others exceedingly dreadful with its teeth of

iron and its claws of bronze and which devoured crushed and trampled

down the remainder with its feet

20 ) and the meaning of the ten horns that were on its head and the other

horn which came up and before which three of them fell namely that horn

which had eyes and a mouth uttering great boasts and which was larger in

appearance than its associates

21 ) I kept looking and that horn was waging war with the saints and

overpowering them

22 ) until the ancient of days came and judgment was passed in favor of

the saints of the Highest One and the time arrives when the saints took

possession of the kingdom

23 ) Thus he said the fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth

which will be different from all the other kingdoms and it will devour the

whole earth and tread it down and crush it

24 ) As for the ten horns out of this kingdom ten kings will arise and

another will arise after them and he will be different from the previous

ones and will subdue three kings

25 ) And he will speak out against the Most High and wear down the

saints of the Most High one and he will intend to make alterations in times

and in law and they will be given into his hand for a time timeand half a

time

26 ) But the court will sit for judgment and his domination will be taken

away annihilated and destroyed forever

27 ) Then the sovereignty the dominion and the greatness of all the

kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of

the Most High One His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom and all the

dominion will serve and obey Him
