Artistic and Spiritual Leagacy
"ROME" This is a Chart by the late Rev. Phillips that shows Christians happily suffering at the hands of the Romans to prove their faith in God. They are being stoned, boiled in oil, cut in half, being eaten by animals, yet in each image the faithful are smiling based on absolute faith. It is drawn on oilcloth, circa 1970s, copyright 2005 Turtel Onli. Rev. Phillips did not think of himself as being an artist but using images to preach the word of God.
" The Root of All Evil" by Rev. David Phillips circa 1950s Copyright 2005 Turtel Onli. Drawn on oil cloth.
This is another highly collectable example of the Biblical Charts my late grandfather created from 1935 until 1973. I gave an exhibition of our works as a legacy show in early 2005 in Munster Indiana. A few of his charts have been sold and the Linsay Gallery in Columbus Ohio is currently handling a few of them. Rev. Phillips created the charts to help his congregation to better understand the word of God. He was a Pentecostal Preacher and I became a therapist-teacher. We both make art. How is that for a bit of a legacy.
