Enough

TITLE: ENOUGH SIZE: 36X36 MEDIUM: ACRYLIC CIRCA: 2021 Proverbs 30 Most of my paintings are cathartic. They are an open expression of a strong emotion I have experienced in my personal walk with the Lord. Sometimes I feel inclined to share my experience through story with the painting. Othertimes, strokes of color on the canvas eventually turn into something worthy of calling art as God strokes away dark cavernous areas of my heart in the process. His Heavenly colors I have learned to appreciate are conviction, truth, love, mercy, and grace. Each one has shaped me into the man I...

SIZE: 24X24 MEDIUM: ACRYLIC Do you know the Gindai fish story? This colorful Hawaiian bottom fish is in the snapper family. They swim the indo-Pacific waters up to depths of 1000 feet. Cool fact!

This fish, vivid in colors red and yellow, will begin to blend into its surroundings the deeper in the water it travels. However, as the fish surfaces coming closer to the...
