Church Mural

The mural is titled "He is the Vine,We are the Branches". It is located at our church in Arkansas City,Kansas;Redeemer Lutheran. Click the photo to see the work at various viewpoints and progress.It is in the Sunday School area ,leading to the Fellowship Hall. My inspiration for it was my volunteer teaching for Developmentally Disabled Adult classes: Thursday School and Truth Talk.
I included young people from many nationalities ,as well as several to represent my students. They are streaming from many directions toward Jesus,who is in the foreground. On the wall opposite the mural is an accompanying one which further emphasizes the title of the main mural. This is done with an open Bible and a meandering vine with Bible verses pertinent to the Main mural. Beside the vine section is a scroll painting that provides the provenance for the hallway mural art's purpose. The many countries (from which the young mural people are coming to Jesus) are documented . The source material for the authenticity of the attire of each young person is given,as well.
The hallway art is described there as for the benefit of the church classes,the Thursday ministry, the congregation, and as praise to our Lord.

Dot2Dot

The"About Me" section  includes a picture of 2 dogs on Halloween.It is quite misleading,but fun.Click the picture to enlarge it, then try to determine which one is on the porch and which is indoors.....also which is actually on the leash. This is a good example of our need for attention to detail. Artists use their observations to inform their creative process. Some of the best have used deceptive viewpoint to involve visual tension in their work. People enjoy masterpieces that have been truly successful with this approach. The angle of composition can draw the viewer into the piece and allow the mind to form different reactions than when seeing the subject as normally expected.
This is a photo of our favorite pet Dot. She was our Dalmatian for 8 years. The little dog belongs to a family member. Dot's full name was Dot2Dot Carson.( She had a gray dot in the middle of her nose with a black dot in the center of that.) We couldn't find a last minute Halloween costume for her,but she enjoyed herself,anyway. When the little black dog in the orange and black witch's outfit made a visit, Dot was very intrigued.Her tail was wagging bigtime and she wanted out in the worst way!
Dot was inside looking out through the storm door at the terrier who was on the leash with Kristle standing behind her. The angle of the door in the shot contributed to the overall composition. This is a favorite photo and is on our pc's desktop. It helps us to remember her at her best.
