I’ve been drawing peaches lately and pondering universals. Long ago, the Greek philosopher, Plato, set forth his idea of the ‘forms’.

Cornelius Van Til was a professor at Westminster Theological Seminary for 43 years. This piece attempts to give a more colorful visual reference for his metaphysical views regarding Christian theism. “Van Til . . . always taught that a Christian worldview should be represented by two circles (for Creator and […]
I’m still experimenting with glass painting. These prints were created by painting quickly onto a piece of glass with acrylic paint, and then printing the image onto Bristol vellum. The first one wound up looking a bit scant so I tried it again, brushing the paint more thickly onto the […]
