Henrik Ibsen first said "A thousand words leave not the same impression as does a single deed." After his death in 1906, the phrase was shortened to "a picture paints a thousand words..." My favorite paintings here capture all those words...and more! Enjoy.

Jesus is in Your Boat
July 2020
My imagination was truly inspired by the request of a local church elder to paint Jesus calming the waters during tumultuous times, such as those that so many people in the world have experienced this year. Four sketches, MANY hours, the opportunity to give credit to God, and the elder's very pleased reception of the finished work, all prompted my own thrilling "over the top" personal happiness and feeling that this is my best theme piece. --- GBM
