Drawing In Church- 12/7

The children made ornaments and decorated a Jesse Tree during church today.
I wanted to decorate one too.



Want to step into the time machine? Here is a painting I did during my undergraduate years, on the same theme. For a time, I hoped to become the Chris Van Allsburg of drybrush acrylics. It didn't work out.

    I think you meant to say, "It didn't work out, much to the dismay of Matt Kirkland's extended family."

    Watch out, there might be an expose in a coming issue of CA on how you used to be a Van Allsburg rip off.

    Great work John. Love the church drawings.

    St Louis, church pews, references to the church year.

    Are you a fellow Lutheran John?

    I was close: )

    Are you a fan of theologian RC Sproul?

    I know RC Sproul, but have never read him. Not sure I'd say I'm a super fan- given that I'm not a super-calvinist.

    wowzers that blast from the past is so different from your stuff now! it'd be fun to see posts like this more often. it definitely reassures that you don't have to have figured out your voice while still in undergrad (well, at least for the crazy students like me that are always freaking out about that stuff). :D
