"Arlene"
"Arlene"
A tribute to Arlene that epitomizes the many good Mothers of the world. This oil on canvas painting captures a tender early morning breakfast of pancakes being made by a Mother (Arlene) for her adult children. She is fresh from the shower and dressed in her favorite robe. At the time of the painting she was in the last stages of cancer and wanted to feed her children without concern of pain or fear of her future difficulties. You can see the joy of having her family together just one more time to feed them with the efforts of her hands. She spent a lifetime nurturing her children and never tired of the labor of love.

The Bitter Cup
While not often depicted by artists, this is the singular moment of mankind and worthy of our contemplation. The scene is lighted from the right side by the presence of an angel sent to comfort Christ in his darkest hour. He is seen raising his hand, acknowledging the angel sent to comfort and witnessing the dark hour as he drank the bitter cup. He is surrounded in the darkness by a thorny branch on one side and by an olive branch on the other. The thorns to be used by his persecutors as a mocking crown and the olive tree as a symbol of light, healing and life. The tree foreshadowing the brilliant dawn of the coming resurrection.
