About Me

My photo
I began drawing and painting at a very young age and knew early on that I would choose art for my life. I achieved success early on in high school and college in the arts, but after college, I felt compelled to a career in ministry and have spent many fulfilling years helping others find their purpose in life. Through the years, I continued to paint mostly for enjoyment and as an outlet, but in 2007, I realized that an important part of my own life-purpose was creating and painting. The internet, which of course was not available 25 years ago, is such a useful tool for artist, opening doors and providing exposure that would otherwise not be possible. With this new opportunity, I have been pursuing painting and marketing my art whole heartily, usually painting on a daily basis. I live in Tucson, love to jeep, love to paint and study art, and my paintings are often inspired from some remote mountain location in the high desert.

Light On The Path



“You’ve gotta have light - without light you don’t have good pictures.” The quote is from Mark Beeson in his teaching this past weekend; “God Is Waiting On You.” He used the comparison of what is needed to take a great picture and what is needed to have a great life. First was focus and second was light.
Much like taking a photo or painting a picture, if you are going to have a clear, beautiful picture, you have to have light. The same is true with our lives, if we are going to have a clear, beautiful life, we need to walk in the light.
“Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.” (Psalm 119:105) Without God’s light, we cannot see the path of our life clear enough to navigate it successfully.
God wants us to have and live a clear and beautiful life. We gotta have light that shows the path even through the long shadows that sometimes come our way.
This painting is 11X14 and titled "Light On The Path" - May He light your path always, Jeff  SOLD
