WRESTLING WITH THE SPIRIT

18" x 5 feet  

This was done on a piece weathered cypress

found in the Atchafalaya basin

by an old Cajun man with piercing blue eyes.

He is one of the most imaginative people

I've ever encountered.

He gave me this huge piece of cypress

and one night 

while trying to interpret its New life,

I saw

an image of a giant beast

with beady eyes and flared nostrils

who was wrestling against an angelic heavenly helper.

Grabbing some white paint...

the boy-like figure was quickly drawn

to take on the spiritual beast 

that sneaks onto this worn and wooden canvas.

It is a call for all of us...

God's children..

to call on Him through prayer

so His unseen spiritual beings

can fight on our behalf  and 

our battles can be won.

Then... 

what tends to come with most of these art pieces...

The Words....

words that interpret the art...

I love it when the words flow out!!!

It is like discovering a hidden treasure of a long ago king!

Who Is He?

He is His

and 
He is yours.

He was created for you

to fight for you.

You can not see Him.

He awaits for the trumpet to blow

according to His Father's will

and your words.

He fights your battles

in the Spirit world.

It is up to you

to release him with your words

and claim victory in the battle of good and evil.

He is yours 

and 
He is His.

FOR WE DO NOT WRESTLE

AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD,

BUT AGAINST PRINCIPALITIES,

AGAINST POWERS,

AGAINST THE RULERS OF THE DARKNESS

OF THIS AGE,

AGAINST SPIRITUAL HOSTS OF WICKEDNESS

IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES.

THEREFORE TAKE UP THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD,

THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND IN THE EVIL DAY, 

AND HAVING DONE ALL, 

TO STAND

While walking one day with my son,

I stumbled upon some really thin pieces of wood...

almost like thin slivers of shingles.

I knew I had to have them!!!

So, I went home and spread them out on our living room floor.

There were 12 in all.

I went to bed that night excited about

ARTIST STATEMENT

Art that Moves the Heart

One afternoon, after 20 years of artistic dormancy, I was moved to paint something.  Five days later, my heart strings were brought to life on a multitude of recycled canvases.   All were scattered on my living room floor where life and love collided with tangible intentions.  This artwork is meant for
