Acrylic Painting for Monteluz Christian Retreat Center
This is my most recent painting. It is an acrylic painting (3 feet x 6 feet) on canvas. It was a gift to the Monteluz Christian Retreat Center, near Valencia, Spain. The painting reads from left to right. The theme of the painting is "for you" (PARA TI). Jesus suffered "for you" (cross and crown of thorns), conquered death "for you" (white area showing a risen Lord), and now lives "for and in you" in times of difficulty (green and dark blue images), in times of joy (red and light blue images), and in everyday life (gold family image). The jagged white area showing a risen Lord also refers to the tearing of the temple curtain at the moment when Jesus died on the cross.
