Chicken, Then Egg

Which came first? The Chicken or the egg? Being a Christian, I maintain the animals followed the pattern of man even though they proceeded man’s creation. Of course…

Jimmy “Duck” Holmes

I caught a CBS interview of Jimmy “Duck” Holmes a while back. He impressed me. He was up for a Grammy this year (but didn’t get it). He…

Beep Beep

Tick–Tock

Well, it’s Thursday the 14th of January, 2021, and the House has voted to impeach Trump–again, since VP Pence has said he wouldn’t call for the 25th amendment…

We’ve Got (Y)Our Back

“We’ve got your back,” is a statement often used to express offering protection from harm to certain individual(s)–usually a partner. Local police forces are supposed to protect our…

No Quick Fix

Florida, June 26, 2020. Our Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, who jumped the gun in a partial opening of Florida’s non-essential businesses, had to eat crow by resending that…

Hiber–nations

The Coronavirus has set the world on edge. It’s certainly no respecter of persons, nor nations. It’s akin to terrorism’s reach: nobody in any nation is exempt from…

Til Death Did Us Part

Yeah, that’s a roulette wheel competing for stadium seating. As a footballer you take your chances of being early existed from life by you’re mere participation in the…

Moon Howlers

Walls to Windows

New York City is one of our sanctuary cities. That is a designated American city (usually by their individual mayors and/or governors) that immigrants may go to and…

Flamingos (sold)

Contrived Landscape

No social issues here to speak of. Just some beautiful positive (flamingos) and negative shapes to play off a graphically rendered cypress stump. And a few water navigational…

Death Hold

Are you holding unto death (much more tightly than your faith?), and you don’t even realize it? I certainly hope not. I even pray not (that you aren’t)….

Bucksnort Lodge (Sold)

My two best clients commissioned me to paint a small (by my standards) painting of their mountain cabin out West near Yuma, Arizona. They requested some different perspectives…

Put Out to Pasture

I think everyone would agree that horses are beautiful animals. Here’s one painted and placed in a pristine pasture, while a great many people of this world are…

His Is Ours

This painting is rendered to look like the nailed hand of Christ projecting from some of the 9-11 rubble left on the horizontal member of a cross girder…

Missile Mania

At first glance you might not notice that the barn silos second as missiles with atomic warhead warnings. The barns themselves are being “all shook up” (their registrations…

Deco Flamingo and Heron

Protests, Prayer, and Protocol–for All the People

I will begin by stating that my insertion of a rendering of Rosa Parks’ mug shot for Colin Kaepernick’s head isn’t to be interpreted that their respective causes…

Stealth Shooter Flyover

Yeah, that’s a Stealth bomber flyover at the playing of our national anthem. But it’s also six, hand guns pointed downward. Their compressed, bullet paths (superimposed over the…

Deco Dog and Chicken

Hategate

This cautionary painting (DO NOT ENTER) may well parallel the prophets in the Old Testament who proclaimed the destruction of Israel and Judah because of their continued idol…

We’ll Fly Away

Yeah, that’s me in my Gator uniform–over a half-a-century ago. I was flying (momentarily suspended in air) at the time the photo was taken on Florida Field (the…

Field of Dreams

OK, admittedly, I dittoed the movie title for my painting title. But with so many athletes (especially black athletes in football) pointing their respective arms upward to gesture…

Seek and Go Hide

It used to the other way around. We’d hide first, and then our playmates would come seek us out. Now the sequence is reversed: one of their peers…

Margaritiville

Lost

Gates to Glory

Dancing in the Shadows

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1943, from his parents Larry and Doris Gagner, his family moved to Detroit when Larry (junior) was just one year old, and then…

Stormy Weather

Stormy weather and/or Stormy Daniels; take your pick, or choose them both. You can’t be wrong. The stormy weather refers to Mr. Trump and his repeated firing (i.e.,…

Sudden Death

“Sudden death” is no respecter of persons–it’s available to everyone–whether you’re ready for it or not. But we Americans were blindsided long ago to the carnage that would…

Brainwashed

The horror of 911 that American had to endure has since been repeated (on much smaller scales–fortunately) across the world. Now, most of the world’s countries are on…

Serenity

Oh, the tranquility of serenity. The simple seems sufficient. Take what is given (your godly blessings) to you and run with it–as far and as fast as you…

Don’t Make?

I assumed too much. I just figured, that since there was a proliferation of Jesus’ images throughout history, it must be all right to follow suit. Boy, did…

To Worship: Don’t Depict Deity

I think I’ve been a somewhat naive in the recent past. I believed it was OK to represent the Christianity Deity (Jesus) in two and/or three dimensions, just…

Pancake Hate

About the only accolades an offensive lineman could ever amass back when I played pro football was how many games you played and/or started in in your career….

Will Not Enter

I could have named this painting “Back to You.” Jesus’ back that is. The you part is all the people named in the scriptures who have decided NOT…

Holywood and Vine

No, that’s not a typo error in the title; it’s a play on words. It’s common knowledge that this Hollywood intersection (Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street), made famous…

Pittsburgh Pride

The downtown wedge–shaped area of Pittsburgh, observed from just about any place on Grandview Avenue atop Mt. Washington, is considered to be one of the three top city…
