Women

What is it about women that artists (men, particularly) find irresistible as subjects of art? Well, for one, they are innately beautiful! Okay, enough said! But seriously, they are truly irresistible! Their charm is captivating! Even Adam had trouble saying “no” to Eve! If only he’d declined Eve’s persistent offering of that fruit and [...]

Open House

House, 12″x9″, pen and ink on Strathmore 400-series, 60-lb Sketch paper

“In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:2, New International Version)
To all who truly believe, the above verse proves that there is no housing [...]

Remember to pray

To remember is to understand. To understand is to pray. To pray is to believe. To believe is to be saved. To be saved is to have remembered.
When we pray, we remember the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, His conquest of sin through His death and His lordship over all! And with this death [...]

Music

My love for music, just like everyone else, started early on in life. In fact, as best as I can remember, I only wanted to be any of three things when I grew up: a soldier, a fireman or a drummer. The first two were very common among children my age. But the third one– [...]

Eternal life

The idea of immortality fascinates me. Shows like “The Highlander,” mythical stories about the phoenix bird, and the sacredness of blood as a symbol of life in most cultures, bear proof to the allure of invincibility! The notion of a beginning without end surely crosses the line of reason and straddles the line of divinity. [...]

Whether or not they were the first inhabitants here in North America, I consider them the birthright people of this continent. In them I see the supreme love of nature that is akin to the bond between a mother and her child. I feel [...]

Here are some more works that I did in pen and ink. I had FUN drawing each one of them!

Life’s a run

When you want to cross the finish line, you only do one thing: run as best as you can! When you want to be the first to cross the finish line, you do one thing more than just run your fastest race: you run “the run of your life”! The idea is, in a race, [...]

Dead tired

I did this quick sketch after a hard day’s work. And needless to say, even several years after this was drawn, I could still remember how dead tired I was that day. I unwound by listening to The Beatles’ The Beatles album (often referred to as The White Album), most specifically the songs “I’m So [...]

Vincent

Vincent van Gogh is my favorite artist! If I were to choose only one influence in my art, it would be Van Gogh. His daring, direct application of colors on canvas, with minimum mixing, or none at all, on his palette, is the most remarkable characteristic that endeared me to his art! His works, just [...]
