The story behind the art:
The topic I'm getting into is "the origin's debate" (the evolution vs.
Creation topic).  One extreme view is called Biblicism (Bible-only,
such as by Ken Ham), and the other Scientism (Science-only, such
as by Richard Dawkins).  My position is a middle ground, similar to
that of geneticist Francis Collins.  Therefore, the art is figuratively
giving the message “To know ‘total truth,’ both science and religion
should be consulted.”  The picture illustrates a wizard mixing the
material from the Bible and science to create “total truth.”

Creative Specs:
The picture will be of a wizard pouring “stuff” from two labeled
large books (one in each hand) into a cauldron (a big pot), which
is set over a log-fire.   
One book is labeled “The Holy Bible” and the other “Modern
Science”.
The wizard’s hat will have three stars showing.  The star shape is
a "star of David"
The wizard’s face is a caricature of Francis Collins (images of him
are here:
http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-
8&rlz=1T4SUNA_enUS235US238&q=francis+collins&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi  ).
 Francis
will not be labeled, so it is important that those who know him
would recognize him… and it is OK if the caricature is realistic or
funny-looking (accentuated features, etc.).   
The wizard’s face looks something like he’s joyfully expecting an
interesting effect.  The face should be in proportion to his body.
The pot is labeled “TOTAL TRUTH".
The picture is in full color.  The background can be swirls, a
mountain range, a forest, volcano, whatever you like.  The picture
should also look decent when printed in black and white, as from a
PC printer.

You guessed it...

I like old rustic scenes.

These paintings showcase the styles that I use  ranging  from
stylized to realism to impressionistic; whether in oil, water colour
and of course (my favorite) DIGITAL.

The Painting to the left is from the old black and white photo
above, which was my Grandfather's old barn just before they tore
it and the old home place down.

I count myself extremely blessed
to have been a part of this saga
and am so thankful for the
friendship I have with Sabrina.  
She is as remarkable a person as
she is a writer and I'm so glad our
paths have crossed.

"It's always a big help when your client
has a great personality."
"He may get a standing ovation but
he's definitely not going to get an
encore anytime soon."
"He's a real man of peace. You can tell by
the way he carries his piecemaker."
"I'll take  you with me but if I knew all this was
gonna happen  I would have refused the
apple and asked for my rib back!"
"As his attorney, I can assure you that
all the papers have now been signed
and that he is finally good to go."
"I'll tell you now...as my attorney, you
really botched things up this time."
"There wasn't a word about this
in law school!"
"Since you're new at this, I may as well tell you now.
This is one mediation that's going
no where."
"Slide over Lucy...I'm sick and tired
of living in TV land!"
"He must have found out that his
wife finally made it up here."
"I'd marry you Cindy but I have to
be home by 5:00."
"OK...we try it your way first but if mediation
doesn't work, WE HIT THE  MATTRESSES!"
"I use to be a partner of a large firm.  It was
entirely too demanding so I decided on a career
change with less responsibilities...and you?"
"Your problem is, you don't wear the pants in
the family. Now do you see me goin' around
worrying what my wife thinks?!"
"Yea, yea, don't come cryin' to me Mack. My
kids use to think I walked on water! Take my
word for it... It's  something they grow out of!"
"Hey Mate. How can you say that I don't
appreciate the full benefits of having a
good attorney?!"
"That's a really nice watch but could you
please stop trying to influence the court."
"Surely one bite won't change the world."
"PERFECT!!! That's exactly what I've
been looking for! It's got everything a
crowd wants to see."
"No, there's really not that much difference
except for the horse, of course."
"OK...as long as you see 'em too."
"Because you were an attorney!
THATS WHY!!"
"Well...I heard that he use to be an attorney."
"I swear to tell the truth the whole truth and
nothing but the truth so help me...wait a
minute! This is ridiculous!"
"I use to be a lawyer and was paid by the hour.
Now I'm on production and have to do a head
count at the end of each day but at least I'm
still in some aspect of the law."
"I'm telling you for the last time...whoever
controls crude oil, controls the WORLD. We're
missing a great opportunity here."
"I heard that we were a misunderstood species and
are not the mindless eating machines portrayed in
the movies. In fact, people are more likely to be killed
by lightning than from sharks. Hhhmmm, I wonder
what 'surfer soufflé ala flambe' would taste like."
"This Nostradamus character keeps mumbling
something about the Geneva convention."
"I say...that ole chap seems to be lacking the
proper qualities of sportsmanship."
"I have discovered that my attorneys work
much better than dogs in flushing out game
but aren't as difficult to replace should my aim
miss its mark."
"You know...with this technology, science has finally reached
p
erfection...if not for the fanatics who have now invented
global warming."
