"The Frozen Wood Frog / Resurrection" (4'x6')
This is the largest freestanding painting I have ever done, measuring 4’x6’ and is painted with acrylics on gessoed board. Besides its size, what makes this painting unique is its subject matter, the story behind how this painting came to be, and its future. Pictured here, in the middle of the hands, is a frozen wood frog just beginning to thaw out in the very early spring. In the background you can see the skunk cabbage just beginning to poke its way up through the snow. The little girl hands are pulling on the older man hands in an effort to get a closer look at this amazing little creature. Using the wood frog as an illustration, lessons are being taught from one generation to the next about the wonders of nature, the future of “cryogenics” and resurrection power.
Scientists are trying to discover what makes it possible for the wood frog to freeze 90% of its body fluids, become solid as a rock and come “back to life” in the springtime. If they can, then they may be able to apply that knowledge to prolonging the time needed for human organ transplants! It is my prayer that someday this painting may assist in that effort as well as be a tool to teach others about the power of resurrection!
