 Seven Spirits 48" x 48" Acrylic on stretched canvas - 2001 Price: $1,650 |
The seven spirits of God, often represented by lamps (Zechariah 4 and Revelation 4), symbolize the Holy Spirit. Seven, the perfect number, reinforces the Holiness of God's Spirit. Here, the seven spirits are represented by a circle (eternity) of doves being released by the Son to indwell the faithful. "From
the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder.
Before the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits
of God." |

 Cross Cercelee 40" x 30" Acrylic on stretched canvas - 2001 Price: SOLD - Gullia Collection |
Bright colors of new growth in Christ. The Cercelee cross epitomizes maturing in the Faith, a willingness to endure suffering (displayed here through the rays and quatrefoil denoting the five wounds of Christ, but in "fours," depicting that suffering was endured for all peoples.) "In
bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through
whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect
through suffering." |
||||||
 The Door (Part One) 48" x 24" Acrylic on stretched canvas Price: $720 |
The Cross - a point in time. The circle - time without end. Intertwined. The open door to the everlasting. "I
am the door; if anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will
go in and out and find pasture." |
||||||
 The Door (Part Two) 48" x 24" Acrylic on stretched canvas Price: $720 |
Blue - the water of life. A thin thread cuts through eternal despair. A ray of hope through a narrow door. Knock and the Savior answers... "Enter
through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road
that leads to destruction, and many enter through it." |
||||||
 Everlasting 48" x 48" Acrylic on stretched canvas - 2001 Price: $1,650 |
The cross, with eternity symbol, transcends the colors representing earth, wind, fire and water. Before they were spoken into existence, "I am." "Before
the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God." |
||||||
 Fount of Grace 40" x 30" Acrylic on stretched canvas - 2001 Price: $1,140 |
The fountain within is opened as the blood is shed for all who would believe... "On
that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and
the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity." |
||||||
 Ionic Moline 21" x 24" Mixed Media on Board, Framed - 2001 Price: Artist's Private Collection |
Growth unto eternity. Crosses indicating spiritual maturing and eternity are combined into a powerful representation of justification, sanctification and glorification. "For
those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness
of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And
those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified;
those he justified, he also glorified." |
||||||
 Jerusalem Cross 36" x 36" Acrylic on stretched canvas - 2001 Price: SOLD - Higgins Collection |
One interpretation of the famed "Jerusalem Cross" is that the four small crosses indicate the "four corners" of the earth to which missionaries of the cross have carried the Gospel since the days of the original Church in Jerusalem (represented by the large cross.) Here, the underlying stained glass motif represents that fulfillment - the rich tapestry of all nations, peoples, tribes, and tongues worshipping the Lord - a majestic untiy in diversity. "But
you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you: and you will
be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the
ends of the earth." |
