This is a oil painting cover I did for Ligonier Ministries monthly magazine Tabletalk. The visual problem I had to solve was first of all the sense of spiritual revival of a person. They had to be content and the power of nature or God was renewing their spirit. I thought wind and a nice colorful sunset would help contrast the dull and old skin that's peeling away.
The original is 11.5 in. x 18 in. It and several size prints are available for sale here:

This really does capture the feeling of renewal. I like the way his old, cold layer is peeling away , and his new self is basking in that gorgeous sunset. This is a lovely piece... showing a positve wind of chnage.
This is beautiful and very meaningful...
This is outstanding! You've really captured the difference between the grays of a dull or bad period being usurped by the hope and promise of new horizons. Really great stuff.
fascinating illustration
Hey, I was gonna do that too... no, seriously, this is beautiful. Excellent work!
Terrific illustration! I love how the diagonal of the clouds help with the movement of the old skin peeling ( or being blown) away. Nice!
cool work!
Very fascinating! There's a lot of meaning here, and your style looks great too. Now I have only one wish: that I could do this too!
(I don't mean to draw, but to get peeled..)
Happy Halloween Jay!!
great idea for rebirth and awakening. you've captured it so well too.
