For my wife’s 30th birthday I decided to paint her a scene from a place and season she loves – New York in the Fall. This scene is actually inspired from our favorite movie which I will allow you to guess. We both had a fabulous trip to New York several years ago and experienced …

This is my second oldest niece. Her name is Alanna. This was my second portrait in oils. I was also very pleased with how it turned out. Jules resembles her mother and Alanna resemble her father. My nieces are awesome!

This is my niece. Her name is Jules. This was my first portrait in oils. I was very pleased with how it turned out. I remember painting it in the living room of old 3023 16th St in good old Canton Ohio around Christmas time. Jenna’s mom and Jenna were sitting chatting in the background …

Daisies are my wife’s favorite flowers. She asked me to paint her a small painting of them and this is what came about. I believe she has this small, square, oil painting on raised canvas hung on her cubicle at the Timken company wehre she works as a financial analyst. Hopefully they still brighten her …

My brother Peter Dudek wrote a book series called Forsaken Kingdom and for inspiration I sketched some illustrations inspired from the book. Here is a Tarin, the main character, sleeping soundly by an object called an Illumina. A cat notices the Illumina glowing and feels drawn to it’s peaceful glow.

The Bible is chock-full of wine. Wine reveals a characteristic of Jesus Christ. Jesus turned water to wine, he compared it to his blood and the original Christians exited the upper-room after the Holy Spirit descended drunk as with wine. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my …

This is my mountain, at-least the one that came straight from my head. I’m very fond of the late Thomas Kinkade and was very sad when he passed away with hundreds of paintings probably yet to be created. I painted this a year or so before he passed. It will always remind me of Mr. …

Originally my wife was sitting on this horse in her pajamas, I removed her for two reasons: 1. I do not believe Jenna would have liked to be painted in her pajamas and this was my second painting I have ever done and painting a human seemed too difficult. This an oil painting and hung in …

My wife Jenna years ago took a trip to Guatemala to help aid a small town to help repair and paint some structures needing attention. During here journey she met several little persons including this little girl that grew quite found of Jenna.  

The First Bridge was the very first oil painting I attempted back in 2009. I’ve always sketched with pencils, but I shied away from paints. One day I got bold and bought a cheap set of oils paints, a small canvas and I went at it. This is what became of that first endeavor.

I met a wonderful artist at the old church we used to go to, Alliance Christian Center. She used to live in California with her husband. She gave me this photo of the Pacific coast that I really like. She generously allowed me to use her water-color paints and canvas at her house and I …

My wife and I took a trip to Africa for about a month with a group of  crazy Christian from Frontline Ministries International. We saw people healed of blindness and deafness in the most 3rd world, cave man age place I didn’t know existed. These guys lived in mud huts and ate goats from the backyard. But, …

Sometimes we get very robotic when it comes to relating to Jesus Christ. Here we see an almost hollywood style epic love story playing out. I believe this shows how God really realtes to us. This verse inspired me to paint what I saw. Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon …

The Illumina is another illustration inspired by my brother’s book Forsaken Kingdom. It is a vile that contains something very powerful yet is rarely understood and unable to wield.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up. John 3:14 Jesus died as the curse put on Adam and all his descendants. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed …

My brother Peter Dudek wrote a book series called Forsaken Kingdom and for inspiration I sketched some illustrations inspired from the book. Here is a Drilock one of the enemy characters in the book. It is a equivalent to a demonic entity that searches to devour anyone loyal to the King of Arvalast.

Camp Carl how I miss those days. Age 18-23 seems to be a blur of fun, swimming, countless faces, and God. Camp Carl and my experience there set me up for who I am today. It taught me to love people, even crazy people, it taught me to know community should really work. If the …

Back in 2004 I did a quick sketch of my most loyal companion, Hershey. A mut mix of Black Lab and Golden Retreiver, you couldn’t ask for a more relaxed, smart, friendly dog. I received her when I was only 13 years old. She is now 15 years old! and she still tries to play …
