"Heart"
A wedding gift for a best friend. They wanted a female and male lion laying together. They wanted all cool colors, but right when they said that I knew that I was going to make the mane all different colors. I didn't tell them of my plan because I knew it would look great, and they loved it! SOLD

These two cross pieces were done during a sermon I was preaching. It was on first impressions, and how there is more than what is on the surface. I started by painting the background, and talking about abstract expressionism, which is where the artist paints non-recognizable pieces and wants the viewer to see what they want to see. Then I painted the cross, and a white mass at the bottom that represented a cloud. Then I talked about how one small detail changes what you thought before. Next I added the nails and blood, and reminded people that the best thing to do is not judge right away. SOLD
