Added Explanation: When I made Jesus Christ Lord of my life in 1987, He supernaturally opened my blinded eyes to see Him in a new and glorious Light.
It is hard to explain or even comprehend the changes that began taking place in my life and in my heart.
I experienced a season of deep weeping and prayer for weeks and months. I felt led to paint Call To Weeping.

And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved (hovering, brooding) upon the face of the waters. Genesis 1:2
He, the Holy Spirit, still hovers over chaos today.
Open the window of your heart to the Holy Spirit!
Poem: It Is Beginning To Rain
Date: February 11, 1996
Your rain I hear upon my windowsill,
A cleansing sound, laugh, O daffodils.
A spray of love from heaven's throne.
I am here, My child; you are not alone.
With a tap, tap, tap, on the window of your heart,
To Moisten your ground, O flower,
spring up!
The thunder is My voice; do not be afraid, I am the Almighty God Jehovah,
I came to save, save, save!

Title: The Offering
Date: June 25, 1996
Art material: Pearlescent acrylic on canvas.
(From different angles the painting moves and changes and reflects different light values.)
Todays Date: April 7, 2024
Explanation: My motivation for painting this art piece; The Offering, was from a dream I had many years ago.
Dream: I was in a dry desert-place surrounded by underground caves, like the catacombs where there is nothing but dead dry bones.
Jesus Christ appeared and stood above these tunneled caves. His blood pierced hands and His arms were outstretched. He was wearing a robe of white and a beautiful purple shawl was draped over His shoulders and chest area. A braided gold belt was around His waist.
I saw a fine mist, radiating heat waves emanating from His head, hands, and feet. His entire being was glowing with warmth and kindness. Even His hair had highlights of golden strands.
He stood in one place, and from His waist up, He slowly moved from side to side. As I gazed upon His face,
He smiled at me. I felt so much Peace and Love, which permeated from His entire being.

Title:The Offering
Date: June 25, 1996
Continued explanation from previous painting:
In this painting Jesus is standing on an altar of sparkling pearlescent purple, proclaiming Him as the Ultimate Sacrifice. God's Holy Offering~The Purple Passion of God's only begotten Son~Christ Jesus, The Messiah.
He is Risen, just as He said.
Hallelujah!!!
I added twelve flowing blood drops to the bottom right edge of His purple shawl.
1. Twelve is a symbolic representation of completeness, including perfection of government or rule.
2. Twelve is associated with the return of Jesus, per some followers of Bible prophecy.
3. Twelve sons of Jacob and those twelve sons formed the
4. Twelve tribes of Israel written in the Old Testament.
5. Twelve apostles in the New Testament.
6. Twelve: According to the Book of Revelations, the Kingdom of God has twelve Gates guarded by twelve angels.
7. Twelve foundations of Precious Stones in the New Jerusalem~God's Kingdom.
8. Twelve months of the year.
9. Twelve denotes the measure of Time on a clock.
10. Twelve daylight hours in a day, and
11. Twelve night time hours for the night.
12. Two twelve hour segments for a 24 hour period of time.

(On 2-27-24, I applied light enhancement, look how the colors changed. An intense brighter white light under left arm and the background colors of emerald blue and sky blue.)
It reminded me of John the beloved disciple and what he saw while on the Isle of Patmos. Rev. 4:2-3
"Immediately I was in the Spirit. And there was a throne set in heaven with One sitting on the throne! And He who sat there appeared like a jasper and a sardis stone. There was a rainbow around the throne, appearing like an emerald."

A lamb with a thicket in the foreground is symbolic of Abraham's obedience to sacrifice his promised son Isaac, whom God spared.
The thicket in this photo also resembles the crown of thorns worn by the
spotless Lamb Of God. "Christ Jesus the Messiah." Savior of the world~God's "promised" Son!

Title: "New Life"
Date: 1997
Art Material: Pearlescent acrylic on canvas.
Note: The butterfly goes through four stages of development known as Metamorphoses whereby a
total transformation has taken place.
An egg develops into a larvae/caterpillar. A caterpillar into a pupa/chrysalis. A chrysalis into an adult/butterfly.
Each stage is of great importance in the development of a butterfly.
A total transformation has taken place. The butterfly has become a completely new creature.
II Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

Poem: "New Life"
Date: January 29, 1995
"I saw a caterpillar one day,
Inching along with not much to say.
A pitiful creature of greenish yellow,
Not much character, the ugly little fellow.
Then one day transformed into a chrysalis so tight,
To be alone and out of sight.
As new life unfolded in that dark solitude,
The sun shone down on that tiny prelude.
The day had arrived, a crack in the casing,
New life merged up, O how amazing!
A wing unwrapped in colors anew,
Another spread out, there were two.
A delight to behold, a new creature in Christ,
Able to fly in freedom with its newfound life."
Note: We are made New in Christ.
We become rich in Faith.
"Hearken, My beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the poor of the
world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He has promised to them that love Him?" James 2:5
The Love Of Money (I Timothy 6:10)
Title: "The Love Of Money" Is The Root Of All Evil,

Scripture Reference:
I Timothy 6:10
Art Material: Mixed fibers, fabric, paper, and foam
I Timothy 6:9-11
"But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
For "the love of money" is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness."
Note: The design for this art work was done in 1987 and is on one of the "Living Hearts" of the Living Hearts Collection © 1987.
I had the materials to do this art-piece for tens years before actually tackling it in 1997.
I also might add that this particular art-piece was so hard for me to do, in the sense of ones heart being very wicked, dark, and evil, nevertheless a needed message for it is written in scripture.
1 Timothy 6:10
A warning to All: The father of "PRIDE~satan" is trying to claim what is not his. He is a liar and a thief!

On the top of the black root emerges three five dollar bills overlaid with 3 one dollar bills. Do the math~antichrist.
The father of PRIDE~satan is trying to claim what is not his.

From a distance they look like the number 6 6 6. I did not see this until now. Wow! This art piece is revealing images that I was totally unaware of when making it.
I am finding this true in much of my artwork. My prayer has been that all I put my hands to will glorify the Lord. I am overwhelmed and amazed of each finished piece. Thank You Lord!
The love of money~pride is the personality of satan.
The father of PRIDE~satan is trying to claim what is not his.

Title: "The Love of Money"
is The Root of ALL Evil
Date: January 25, 1997
3-23-2024 I cropped this photo for a closer view of the Black Root. I never saw this before until now. It reveals black serpent talons as horns coming from the black "root of all evil~satan."
This black root reveals a contorted black face with one eye open, the other is shut, like a "wink".
In the Bible, a "winking eye" can indicate deceitfulness or dishonesty, as in Proverbs 10:10 and Proverbs 6:12-13
I also noticed a small black horn above the opened eye. In scripture, the little horn of Daniel 7 is the same as the first beast of Revelation 13.
Black flames are coming from the head of the root~ satan~the root of ALL evil. Atop his head are black flames of his greed for money. Death and complete darkness are his domain~the antichrist.
The father of PRIDE~satan is trying to claim what is not his.
Nevertheless, the CHRIST, Christ Jesus says: "I am He that lives, and was dead: and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen, and have the keys of hell and of death." Revelation 1:18
As believers in Christ Jesus the Messiah, we have LIFE, and because Jesus is living in and beyond all time and space, and has absolute control and victory over death and Hell~the realm of darkness & death, we have LIGHT and LIFE! Jesus IS The LIGHT and Jesus IS The LIFE!
Title:"The Love of Money", the Root of All Evil
Date: January 25, 1997
Todays date: 3-23-2024, A closer view of the previous art piece. Yes, this was the first time I noticed facial features in the root: eyes, ears, a nose, and a mouth. This was a total surprise to me! I also noticed that there is a left "wink" on one of the black roots eyes and a thorn coming from its left ear, a horn of deceitfulness, rebellion, and idolatry. It all makes sense. Read Daniel's vision in Daniel 7:8. The small horn is a symbol of the antichrist.
The mouth of the root is sewn shut. The enemy; the father of PRIDE, is measured toothless by The LORD GOD AlMIGHTY!
Isaiah 14:12-15,
Ezekiel 28:12-19
Revelation 12:7-10
The father of PRIDE~satan is trying to claim what is not his.
Proverbs 13:10 "By pride comes nothing but strife, But with the well-advised

Head held high, your anointing drips down.
A glorious celebration while dancing before the King,
A newfound Love, let hosannas ring!"

This piece can be a reflection of the Tabernacle.
Moses was instructed by God to build a Tabernacle for the children of Israel which is a Visual foreshadowing of Christ Jesus, The Messiah.
There are three stages as one enters the tabernacle
(the way, the truth, the life.)
The Brazen Altar which offers "Atonement", which is
1. The WAY~The "Entrance" gate. The Brazen Altar of sacrifice~Outer Court, where repentance begins. Jesus said, "I am the Way." John 14:6
The Bronze Lavern for washing before entering the door. Jesus is the door~
Jesus said, "I am the door." John 10:9
2. I am The TRUTH~The Table for the Showbread is on the right side of the tabernacle~a visual of Jesus being that Bread on the Showbread Table.
Exodus 37:10-16.
Jesus also says, "Come and sit at My table and dine with Me. John 21:12
Jesus said, "I am the bread of Life." John 6:35
The TRUTH~The Gold Lamp-stand on the left side of the tabernacle.
Exodus 37:17-24
Jesus said "I am the LIGHT of the world. John 8:12
We are able to walk in His "Holiness"
The TRUTH~The HOLY PLACE~Golden Altar of Incense~"Prayer". As we are obedient to follow Him, He leads us by His Holy Spirit into,
3. The LIFE~Jesus, through the Veil~"Access" to God~The Ark Of The Covenant where the Mercy Seat is~The HOLY OF HOLIES~The Inner Court "Fellowship" and Eternal Life with Jesus. Exodus 37:6-9
1 Peter 1:15-16
"but as He which has called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, 'Be ye holy; for I am holy.' "

Not only has Jesus become our Mercy Seat, He IS the Mercy Seat. And in the New Testament, after Jesus was crucified on earth,
and rose again, John 20:12 says,
"And seeing two angels in white sitting, one at the head, the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain." This is a flash back to the "Ark of the Covenant" in the Old Testament that was placed in the Tabernacle for the children of Israel.
From Genesis to Revelation it was foretold. God has given His Holy Word for mankind to read, see, and know the pattern and foreshadowing of His precious Son~Jesus, who became a man like us. And through His obedience, endured the cross. He sent the Counselor; His Holy Spirit, who reveals God's Truth in us. We must repent of our wicked ways~sin, and seek Him while He may be found. Isaiah 55:6-7
Nevertheless, Romans 1:20
says, "For from the creation of the world the invisible things of Him are clearly seen, being understood through the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse."
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who IS and who WAS and who IS TO COME, the Almighty." Revelation 1:8

Three different pieces: which are known as a triptych art piece.
I had never heard of a triptych. When I began this art piece it started out very differently.
I had no clue how it would turn out. Each piece has a unique story. They all cracked on their own when fired, and I just had to finish it before the end of the month. I did not know at the time that September was the month leading into the High Holy Days, Rosh Hashanah (“Jewish New Year”) and Yom Kippur (“Day of Atonement”).
