The Vision of Ezekiel
24” x 30” Acrylic on Canvas. A vision from Ezekiel Chapter 37, an army of skeletons arises in the background, ready to reassert their proper place in God’s world. In the foreground, two partially enfleshed skeleton nude males embrace before taking up the battle for their rights.
Yearning For Salvation
24" x 20" Acrylic on Canvas. In this painting, on the left we see a solar eclipse over a Church, on the right the City of Philadelphia, with an implied reference to the movie that bears the City's name. Dominating the top of the painting is Christ crucified on a golden cross, and in the foreground, set against landscape colors reminiscent of the flames of hell are six figures Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple, the traditional rainbow of Gay Liberation. They stretch forth their arms to Christ at the very moment of His Sacrifice, as symbolized by the Eclipse, in order to be brought within the embrace of His love. As He was rejected and despised, so too have they been. In Him they seek healing. The Church, the City, and the gold of the cross are all symbols of a Society that attempts to close itself off to the suffering of the gay minority.
