12-2009

My children helped me with these paintings. These will be times I will not get back. Co-laboring with them to create something uniquely ours. But maybe it will just be the beginning. Maybe we will be co-laborers for the duration. In the family of the King we all have this hope don't we; that we will work together to steward the Creators imagination in us, in the world, in the hearts of men.
I think right now my family is becoming acutely aware of the injustice toward men/women, the earth that groans, even our thoughts that are arrested by ever present suggestions and distractions . Every where; not just internationally. And this injustice is not obvious in many cases. It trickles down from the top with blatant effects but the roots are often subtle and myriad.
These paintings are a combination of these ideas.
