THE GATES OF PARADISE
(portable, cabinet-type, triptych; acrylic on canvass and gessoed board)
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders us and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our gaze on JESUS, the AUTHOR and PERFECTER of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
(Hebrews 12, 1-2)
