I have decided to take pictures to show the process of one
of my paintings.
This painting was inspired by a scene in the 2004 big-budget epic
"Troy".
My favorite scene in the whole movie has got to be when Menaleus,
the King of Sparta, has thouroughly beaten Prince Paris of Troy, and, knowing it has become a battle he cannot
win, Paris crawls over to his brother Hector and clings to his leg for protection.
I love it because it's such an awesome illustration:
Paris represents Us...
Menaleus represents the world, the flesh and the Devil...
Hector represents Christ...
In our lives, we're battling with our sin and battling against Satan,
trying to fight our own war that we've gotten ourselves into. And Satan is beating the crap out of us, ready to destroy us.
And the only chance we have is knowing we can't win, and crawling to the feet of Christ...who defeats our enemy for us. Because
He loves us.
So I just wanted to do a painting with that thought in mind.
