Below is a revised and very pared down introduction to what the School of the Transfer of Energy represents:

The School of the Transfer of Energy

The Institute of Signs and Levers

The School of the Transfer of Energy was established as a tool to bring a simple order and understanding to a broad range of arts, crafts and agriculture based disciplines and the outputs of those disciplines. The Institute of Signs and Levers refers to a view of those disciplines as a deliberate and purposeful technology towards the receiving, cultivation and realization of relationship to God the Father, Son and Spirit.

Thomas and Jesus

Years ago I was commissioned to make a painting of Thomas touching the side of Jesus after the Resurrection. I began this drawing then but ended up doing a much simpler painting for the commission. I am in the process of preparing a large panel (for the second time) in order to paint this picture. In this post is the drawing and original painting. Following posts will explore the large panel construction and preparation and the new easel I have had to build to accommodate it.
