I cannot believe that I have never seen this artists work before today.
Figurative artist J. Kirk Richards is becoming increasingly known for his accomplishments as a painter of Judeo-Christian themes. While not all of his paintings are overtly religious, the majority of his themes stem from spiritual ideas and narratives. He continues to work in a surprising variety of styles, but most of his paintings exhibit a love for the human figure, general use of symbolism and metaphor, and an emphasis on lyric composition.

From caves to huts and then houses
who’s to say one is better than another.
So much change has taken place
always in search of something new.
The peaceful bliss of a still afternoon
listening to the birds sing.
City lights and sounds with their neon signs.
Have we forgotten where we come from?
Do we care?
Or do we simply accept that which seems
to have become comfortable
never contemplating the consequences.
I see the same light shining from long ago.
Its still just as bright and
calling ever so gently.
Take your glasses off; you don’t need them
and listen, not with your ears
but with your heart.
For what lives in the heart never changes.
