TAKE IT OUTSIDE
50 X 35 INCHES, ACRYLIC ON CANVAS
Being the son of Southern Baptist minister meant spending a lot of time every week in church. As an adult I also spent much time there leading musicians in during services. But sadly, I have come to realize that although spirituality may be a desirable trait, religion is not. Many church members may worship deities within the walls of the sanctuary, but fewer practice its principles once no longer inside. I painted the windows inside the steeple gray to show an empty void, surrounded by the colorful stained glass outside.
