During one of our fall trips to North Carolina, I saw a small pond

out of the corner of my eye while I was driving.  After stopping

and making a short walk, I was struck by the beauty of the trees,

the reflections on the water and how it called me to enter deeper

into it.  I am a Christian and as I looked at the scene, I couldn't

help but think of the fallacy we have in a belief that we can trap

God into a man-made structure.   No, I think He is more than

capable of creating cathedrals such as this small pond in the

Carolinas that are much more magnificent than anything

man can build.  

The painting is titled "Cathedral Study", as it is my intent to

repaint the scene in the future.  This is a color study made for

that purpose, but my friends and supporters encouraged me to

have it reproduced.  The original is a watercolor, painted on

14 " x 11" 140# cold press paper.  It is framed and

matted in a 20" x 16 " frame under plexiglass. The original is not for sale.
