Also I have been averaging about two 1/2 pictures every 4 years... This is one of of two I need to finish up. Some of my friends have said that I need to explain the painting and me being the self conscious person I am took that into account and thought.. am I crazy? Is it that dark. But then I brought it into coach Eric (my pastor) and he said something to this effect. Art is suppose to be left up to the interpretor and if it offends people that is their thing. I am just glad he didn't think it would scare the children and that he would be happy to put it up in our church when it is dowm. Hmmmm I had better get on it. I also would like to add that this piece should be emotionally provoking not just another pretty picture. Now that I have got that off my chest I will explain it. The face I guess you could say is satan. Satan is only visible to us when we are in God's light other wise we blend into the darkness until we are barely distigushable to the rest of the world. (I know I am not getting points for spelling here!) So the one little guy who is breaking about is us as we try to grow closer in him..... There you be. Hope you guys like it.

Oh yeah! P.S.- One day my mother-in-law came up to me and said, "You should hang the face up here." Not knowing that she was talking about I replied, "the face?". When she pointe to my painting I said realized what she wastalking about. I asked her if she knew that I made it and she did not. I thought the name was fitting so I named ist "theFace". Thanks Gail for the name.
