Anthony Kiedis

©2011 Bethany Vanderputten
My latest painting is a tribute to Anthony Kiedis, lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I believe he has a unique voice that spurs young men into action with the ability to shepherd them through dangerous places. This painting explores that idea.

Painted live by Bethany Vanderputten at the Tehillah Monday Dimensions Conference on Sunday, November 6, 2011 to the live music of Jason Upton.

The Black Swan: A Tribute to Amy Winehouse

©2011 Bethany Vanderputten
The danger of commemorating an artist like Amy is that there is a tendency to dismiss her talent because of the way she lived and died. I believe she is England's rose and God made her to shine eternally for Him. In this painting I explore these themes.

Painted live by Bethany Vanderputten at the Tehillah Monday Dimensions Conference on November 5, 2011. ...more art tomorrow!
