I’ve long been a fan of the work of Jim Janknegt, a painter from Elgin, Texas. His religious painting provides a link between gospel stories and modern or postmodern settings.

From one of his sites:
Jim is an artist, a Christian (Episcopalian), who paints oil paintings some large, some small. He paints parables of Jesus, angels, demons, biblical stories and stories from the bible. He is a modern artist or maybe a post-modern artist I doubt you would call him a traditional artist. He has paintings for sale. He has been an Austin artist but is now an Elgin artist.

You can see twenty years of Jim’s work at his non-commercial site, and can see larger versions and purchase prints at his commercial site: Brilliant Corners Art Farm.

Pictured here is a small version of Jim’s painting, “Four Seeds”.
