Inspired by Archangel Rapheal by John Johnston

COLORADO -Art is often the reflection of the artist's life -- be happy or filled with tragedy. After just three years of marriage, Johnny Johnston's wife died in his arms. His art is a reflection of the healing process with his deep commitment to his Christian faith. Religious art is typically highly representational and often depicts individuals that are prominent in biblical stories. It is rare indeed that this type of art would take an abstract form as created by Johnston. Even though painting started as a cathartic release, his colorful forms have found a market. [link]
