These paintings are breath-taking… For a while I had forgotten I was a man staring at a computer screen. They are like nothing I’ve seen before. They are world weary but magical; wise and stern but full of music.
thank you
Wow, thank you, Nate. I am grateful for your words and brief but insightful statement. …and you’re welcome, too.
how do I get a print of the stoning?
Phang, Thank you very much for your comment. I am afraid that I do not have any reproductions, nor have I made any of “The Stoning”. I wish I could be of more help to you in this matter.
Jack, I really, really like your work. My gosh, if you could come to Africa and paint what I see, it would be amazing. Found your Jonah piece through a friend. The whale’s mouth is like the whirling vortex to Hades. Please keep doing what you do.
Jack, I think of you, Amy and your family often. i hope you are all doing well and your art will continue when your life makes time again. Your creativity is so wonderful and the world needs it again.

What extraordinary paintings. I stumbled here through a Google search for paintings of Jonah and the whale, and I’ve been looking at everything else here, mesmerized, for quite some time. What wonderful gifts God has given to men.
