I really like the style and color in J. Kirk Richard's portraits:
But one day I walked into Seagull Book and found this painting, and even better yet, it was 75% off! It's by a local Utah artist named Benjamin McPherson, so this is THE ONE (so far) on my living room wall, until I find the next best picture. My kids think he's kid of scary, I say he's just PRAYING, good grief!
When I showed a friend this picture she said "Hey, that looks like some musician you posted on your facebook wall not too long ago" My reply, Oh, you mean this guy, Matisyahu?
So, yep, kind of funny, huh, how in my quest to find Christ, I find one that looks like one of my favorite musicians.
Also, just the other day I was at my mothers house and saw THIS picture of Jesus by Greg Olsen and I told her, I SWEAR, he looks exactly like the guy who leads the discussion in my Peace and Justice Studies study groups, EXACTLY!
So I guess, Jesus really is all around us? right :)
On a side note, this IS the next painting I want to get in my home, it's called, "The Tree of Life" by Uota Kazuto:
Nice, huh?

I love this post! I especially love the last picture of the tree - it looks like the tree Grandma Butler made with all the genealogy on it.
And...I have that song stuck in my head now - Prince?? boy George?
Depeche Mode :) and that Tree picture was on the cover of the August Ensign, took my breath away when I first saw it.
