Well here is my latest commission. 
There is a lot of symbolism wrapped up in this little piece but before I reveal what the theme is and what everything symbolizes I would like to hear what you guys think. Tell me the first thing that comes to mind, than take a closer look and try to find all the meaning that are represented by the elements of the picture this piece was designed for everything to tie together and point towards one main theme. What is the theme? I will post a later on, with what all the elements of the piece mean and where I got there meanings from.

A Little Different
While think of ways to tell you guys about my latest ” Though Provoking Picture” I decided to try some thing a little different, instead of me making video and telling you what to see in my art work. I am give you guys the chance to let me know what the picture means to you. What do you feel? what emotion does it strike in you? what do you think the meaning is? Does it make you want to change or do something? So please take the time to look closely at every detail and remember the first thing that pops into your head and post a comment letting me know what it is. I will post a video in week to wrap things up and tell you what I was thinking well creating this piece. Have fun, tell next time Stand Strong.

Repaint Jesus
Just wanted to share this with you guys. This guy is really inspiring for artist that don’t see a use for there gift in furthering God kingdom. He has inspired me to refocus my thoughts and art to paint more and more for the glory of the King. Go ” Repaint Jesus” for someone by your actions, actions speak louder then words. Stand Strong my friends pure in heart and mind, set apart in a world of crazy art, for Him. Garret
The Work is Done!!!!
Ok, I’m back and have more of a plan of what my blog is going to be this year, instead of me just posting random picture throughout the week my art is going to have a theme,a description, and a purpose. I will be making time lapses videos of the art in all its stages, so here is the first one of hopefully many to come.
Purity
Purity : What is purity? pure,white,clean, seeking Gods desires not are own, Free from the thoughts of this world. In art purity is usually , a white rose,a maiden, or an angle. In my painting I chose to use a white tuple because tuple petals have a wax like coating on them that stops stuff (sin) from muddying the color (purity) of the tuple.
Sin: The storm cloud in the painting is the sin trying to corrupt purity and cut is off from God notice that even though the sin is trying to hide God from us, God is always visible. The black cloth on the cross is my sin that Christ has taken away to give me purity.
Christ
Life: The red swirls at the bottom symbolize life. Life is not as dark as sin but the business of it can distract us from what matters most. God

Here is the whole painting altogether hoped you liked it please comment and let me know.
