This illustration of mine was one of the finalists of the St. Leopold Friedenspreis, in 2013. Zoom in closer to read the text in the waves.

it may already be hanging in the Vatican!

This next painting of a starry sky was for the St. Leopold Friedenspreis art contest in 2015.
The theme was "The Power of Greed."
A man grabs onto the earth with his back to the heavens.
