"Three Wooden Crosses" - An Appalachian Landscape for Christian Patriots

A Patriotic Christian LandscapeFrom Isaiah 40:"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."Part of a Larger Series about the Love of GodThis panel is the first panel from a three-piece painting called Three Wooden Crosses. It shows a bold American Eagle flying along the French Broad River in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville, NC.I used to live next to this river and often saw eagles gliding along the river in the morning. I also loved the way the cloud shadows would flow over the mountaintops, so I included a shadow here. This image was created to be restful yet uplifting.

An Appalachian LandscapeFrom Psalm 121:"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth."Part of a Larger Series that Celebrates God's CreationThis panel is the second panel from a three-piece painting called Three Wooden Crosses. It shows a mountain peak in the Blue Ridge Mountains next to the French Broad River near Asheville, NC. Atop the peak are three crosses.I used to live right where this painting takes place, and I loved to watch the wildlife walk along the river banks, which is why we see three turkey at the bottom of the panel.This painting is a celebration of God's light and His love for us.

A Peaceful Mountain LandscapeFrom Psalm 78:"And He brought them to the border of His sanctuary, even to this mountain, which His right hand had purchased."Part of a Larger Series about the Love of GodThis panel is the third panel from a three-piece painting called Three Wooden Crosses. It shows a distant view of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the French Broad River in the Appalachian region of North Carolina.The Christian man who commissioned this piece asked me to include a field of Burley tobacco, which is a traditional crop grown in this area, and a part of the region's heritage. Also hidden in this panel are a pair of mourning doves which represents the sacrifice which Jesus Christ made for us.

  A Christian Landscape Painting of the Appalachian Mountains From Psalm 148: "Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl . . ." A Trio of Paintings in Praise of God Includes three 8 x 10 canvas prints.Each panel is 0.75 inches thick. Together these three panels depict an Appalachian mountain landscape of the Blue Ridge Mountains and French Broad River near Asheville, NC. The composition shows the shadows of the clouds flowing over the hills while rays of sunlight shine on the river and trees. If you look closely, you'll see a variety of small symbolic details in the painting, including an eagle (symbolizing God's majesty), three crosses on the top of the mountain (symbolizing the Crucifixion), and two doves hidden in the pine tree on the right (symbolizing the sacrifice of Jesus Christ). There are also several homages to regional traditions, including a field of Burley pipe tobacco which was often grown on local farms, as well as a few small barns hidden on the hillside, and a small flock of wild turkeys.
