In The Theater of the Heart
12 x 12 inches oil and wax on panelThe human heart is theater unless redeemed by the God who gives one "a heart of flesh for a heart of stone."
Left to its own devices the human heart is deceitful and dreadfully wicked. In this painting a heart is being monitored on a cell phone. But who can really judge the heart and the thoughts of a man?

The medical jury is having it watched.
