A lot of times I've wished that the Lord would appear to me like that.
I wouldn't mind if He knocked me flat, it would be worth it to see Him.

Astounding concept and breathtaking imagery, I am stunned by this powerful image, the perfect anatomy but mainly your interpretation of this cherished moment.

You've definitely mastered the old chiaroscuro.

Basically straight out of Caravaggio's own heart. I love. I was deep into Caravaggio in college both in art history and in drawing and painting classes. I did my own "The Taking of Christ" and gave it to my mother during my 2nd semester at TTU back in '04. Sigh. Memories. Thank you for this.

Magnificent! I have just discovered your gallery and it is a wonderful one! Your skills are near to perfection and your strokes are clean, clear and powerful. Your style looks somewhat like a cross of baroque painters like Caravaggion and modern artists like Hopper, and something reminds me the strokes and manners of DalΓ. So I just can tell you that you're a so magnificent artist, and as I understand the sheer amount of work a oil painture needs, I must thank you for creating such wonderful artworks, with such and intesity, emotion and passion. Your compositions are clear with well defined perspectives and diagonals, superbly chosen, like this one. I have seen on person the "Conversion of Saint Paul" by Caravaggio on Santa MarΓa del Popolo so Imust say yours is a worthy modern adaptation of the Bible event.
Magnificent! Impresive!

I cannot help feeling that this looks like he had been blinded by the full beam headlights of an oncoming car, but that would tend to give a secular interpretation of events, rather than the sacred interpretation intended in the biblical narrative of Paul on the road to Damascus. Regardless of the intention, this is a superbly drawn and provoking painting.

This touches my soul through my eyes. Wonderful light and dark use. Powerful and dramatic! Thank you for sharing your art as well as talking about your process and thoughts! I usually have to ask others the same basic info questions because I am also intrigued with the process and the techniques. Lori L

This is amazing! I love the references to the Caravaggio one, and I adore the modernisation of the whole thing

Very well done. It's easy to picture the chaos of modern life going on around this scene...and somehow missing the enormity of the moment you've captured here.

A very well done piece, especially in the reflections. The modernization of the Biblical account is also well done, though without the title I would have trouble figuring out what was going on.

Great idea! Do you have a series of modernized interpretations?

Was devart taken over by relisious people, or just my version?

Considering that also featured today was a work that is borderline sacreligious (the "Virgin Mary Barbie" tattoo), it's safe to say the answer is no.

I guess it's just your "version."

Gorgeous! I love how the angles in the rest of the image all point towards his right hand, and the sharp edges of his hands to draw attention to it.
Wonderful job!

Caravaggio's Conversion on the Way to Damascus is probably my favorite painting of all time, and I absolutely LOVE your modern take on it. Outstanding.

Great modernization of Caravaggio's masterpiece! Your lighting is almost Rembrandt-ish!

I've always wanted to do a modern interpretation of some of these old stories.
Good to see someone's got the chops for it out there.
