I try to create paintings that are a window for the imagination. If people look at my work and are reminded of the way things once were, or perhaps, the way they could be, then I've done my job.

I remember my mom had a big collection of copies of Saturday Evening Post magazines, and that was really my introduction to those great illustrators.

My paintings always feature trails that dissolve into mysterious areas, patches of light that lead the eye around corners, pathways, open gates, etc.

Somewhere out there is a unique place for you to help others - a unique life role for you to fill that only you can fill.

Quiet time and solitude are vital to helping me keep perspective. I consider myself fortunate to have so much quiet built into my profession. I spend long hours by myself at my easel. And while I work, I think-of the future, of my loved ones, of God's goodness and the many exciting opportunities that surround me. I ponder the challenges I face, the needs of others, the direction my life is going.
Whether it's a pebble in a riv...
Whether it's a pebble in a riverbed or a soaring mountain peak, I see everything in the world as the handiwork of the Lord. When I paint, I try to represent the beauty of God's creation in my art. Many modern painters see the world as a jumble of random lines and shapes with no divine beauty or order, and their works reflect their viewpoint. Because I see God's peacefulness, serenity, and contentment, I work to capture those feelings on the canvas. My vision of God defines my vision of the world.

To be romantic is quite simply to allow yourself to fall in love with life - all of life - and experience it fully, openly, passionately, and purposefully

With whatever talent and resources I have, I'm trying to bring light to penetrate the darkness many people feel.

The act of contributing to the lives of others is its own reward. A servant's heart is a greater motivator than financial gain.

Beauty is found in anything that delights the senses, nourishes the soul, fires the imagination.

Our most important legacy will be the contributions we make to the lives of other human beings.

I'm working on a snow scene right now, and it's summer. It's hot, and I will get chilly. I'll have to turn on the heat. My wife walks in, and it's 95 degrees in the studio. I know it's nutty, but it's a projection you have where you step into the painting.

The power of prayer is like turning on a light as it illuminates God's purpose for our lives. There is no greater connection to knowing His will other than the word.

The worlds I paint leave a lot to engage the imagination by hinting at what lies beyond the four edges of the painting.

The concept that an artist would be revered by popular culture is an immediate dismissal of his relevance as an artist.

We have found a way to bring to millions of people an art that they can understand,

I love audio books, and when I paint I'm always listening to a book. I find that my imagination really takes flight in the painting process when I'm listening to audio books.

I grew up in a broken home. My dad was out of the home when I was five years old. I never knew him very well.
