Christian Right Art
Some examples from DiCianni: From the painting, "Blessed are the Peacemakers:"
I tried to think of an historic symbol to paint that would, in my opinion, epitomize the police officer of today. The one I chose is a Crusader holding the flag with the symbol of his mission, the Cross. Nothing said it better and nothing could say it better today. From "Chariots of Fire:"
Throughout history, it has been proven again and again that America's soldiers have not only fought and bled for our freedom but have also fought and bled to defend what is right. Probably any soldier would admit they felt uncertainty or fear as war waged around them. But just as God single-handedly protected Israel in 2 Kings 6:8-22, God too has shown favor on the United States. From "Praying for Peace:"
One of Ron DiCianni's greatest honors came in the form of a chance to paint the leader of the most powerful nation on earth. Not just the chance to paint him, but the chance to paint him in a manner that reflected his personal commitment to God. More than just with this president, America was founded with God at its core...a nation founded on prayer. Praying for Peace is a strong visual reminder for all to pray for the nation's leaders. At the center of any struggle is good verses evil. If good is to win, leaders and citizens alike must pray for the wisdom to move in the steps that God has ordained. Some examples from Dawson: From the painting, "If My People:"
Look for the neglect, warfare, sacrifice tragedy and the evil...then look for the hope, healing, life and prayer. Who is mending the flag? [ ] From the painting, "Reviewing the Troops:"
On further inspection we find the real key to this painting. It is the Lord (in the upper right corner) who is truly "reviewing the troops". We are to be counted as good soldiers of Jesus Christ.
