Welcome to Russell T. Gourdine's Art Gallery
"Life: Freedom (firefly)" is one of Russell Gourdine's recent works continuing in the style of
Spiritual Expressionism, a term he hasn't heard used before, but it's a term that comes close to describing his work. He is influenced by faith and spiritual values in Christianity.
His paintings reflect expressions that all can relate to.
In "Freedom", he uses the rich beautiful colors of Southern California's sunsets to capture the joy and freedom in displaying the affection between a boy and his dog playing in a wheat field as he chases fireflies. This painting is an expression of the pure joy and freedom of one's youth. Or the joy one may feel at any time in life.
Even the knowledge of truth can bring freedom, peace and joy.
Feel free to tour the gallery and please allow time for the images to load.
