From out of the stone age...

We finally emerge into the Peterson blogging scene.

Yay! This is fun to play with! I can see how it can become addicting to post things and keep the world informed of all that goes on.

This is a painting that is the first in a series I'm doing about the symbolism in the Chronicles of Narnia. For those of you who have read or seen the movie, the figure of Aslan is obviously symbolic of Christ. This painting is called "Good and Terrible." Here are some quotes that were inspirational to this painting:

"When they tried to look at Aslan's face they just caught a glimpse of the golden mane and the great, royal, solemn, overwhelming eyes; and then they found they couldn't look at him and went all trembly."

"His hair was like pure gold and the brightness of his eyes like gold that is liquid in the furnace.... and in beauty he surpassed all that is in the world even as the rose in bloom surpasses the dust of the desert."
