Image Notes
I work to be a storyteller in my art. Whether it is my own tale that I am telling or the musings of another raconteur, I love to provide my viewers with an imaginative visual journey. In “A Christmas Carol,” I attempt to capture the literary sojourn of one of the world’s greatest fabulists, Charles Dickens.
This painting of his culturally profound novella has all of its major characters brushed into existence. Of course, the four visiting ghosts of tradition make an appearance. Marley’s Ghost and the Spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Future are all fully realized to scrutinize and sermonize my frightened Ebenezer Scrooge sitting awake in his parlor. But beyond these denizens of the great beyond and their singular mortal target of concern, this painting pays homage to others who inhabit Dickens’ world. Look closely, and you will find Fezziwig, Scrooge’s old mentor, whose jovial nature and generosity stand in stark contrast to Ebenezer’s miserly ways. And, of course, there are Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim, characters designed to show the true meaning of holiday happiness and evoke the charity of the Christmas spirit.
“A Christmas Carol” is a long-standing holiday favorite, and I hope that this interpretation will inspire holiday “spirit” in all who see it. As Tiny Tim might exult, “God bless us, everyone,” and thank you all for sharing my adventure in art.
