Painting, Oil on Canvas
Size: 9.5 W x 7.5 H x 0.1 D in
This painting's in progress. Previously I posted a small color composition oil painting on canvas pad. The final painting will apply composition from the preliminary painting, with details from a photograph. The final, larger, refined painting's in progress. "The Gate" landscape painting, prepared with oil paint on canvas pad, represents salvation. A dark foreground, with flat stone path, leads past a gate to a bright background with trees and lush grass. The dark foreground represents challenges and troubles that might seem insurmountable at times, especially before salvation. The stone path symbolizes spiritual steps while learning about Christ's love. The background's bright sky with light, healthy foliage illustrates the abundant life God provides. When the unbeliever becomes a believer, they walk into the light, symbolized by the sunny background landscape. A parallel exists in the believer's life. Problems might feel overwhelming. Just walk towards The Light. For assistance, follow guidance from the Bible and Holy Spirit. He lights our path, provides hope and guidance, when we walk in His footsteps. "I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture." (John 10:9)

Inspiration for most of my paintings comes from God, as everything including nature, wildlife, plants and animals, flow from Him. Most of my artwork's created with oil paint on canvas. Some older paintings were prepared with gouache, watercolor and airbrush. My styles range from realism to surrealism, with a current focus on photorealism. I prefer realism because it conveys topics best, especially concepts or narratives. Most people understand representational images that tell a story. Ideally the mood, emotion and general concept of a painting sets the tone quickly. It's my understanding that our subconscious minds process images before we begin logical analysis. With fine art, hopefully the title and artist's statement add to the initial impression. My career in illustration began with digital images, including televised cartoon background art and news graphics. Work with computer generated imagery lead to an interest in software development. After completing a degree majoring in computer science, I worked as a software developer for the stock market. However I have always loved art. Recent software projects integrate 3D digital graphics with 3D software development. Many combinations reveal opportunities to create unique artwork either in digital format or oil paint on canvas. Yet I also paint from photographs and reality. I've studied art and painted most of my life. My father used to say, it seemed like I was born with a paintbrush in my hand. Interest in illustration flows from love of nature, wildlife, plants, animals, technology and scripture. I completed degrees majoring in Studio Art and Technical Illustration yet have not publicly promoted paintings until recently.
