Back in high school I sketched this portrait of my granddad, Robert Wyse, only months before he died. I’ve never released this picture to the world, but feel it is right to do so now. My granddad was an amazing man. He was a Christian, a carpenter, an engineer, and believe it or not, a renown aviator. He built his own red bi-plane from scratch. Some of my earliest memories are sitting in the cockpit, eyes on the skies. He and I often shared lengthy theological discussions and he instilled within me many things: a passion for incarnational living, fishing, woodworking, and most of all, dreaming. He once told me that nothing was to hard to tackle if God was behind me. His words are proving true.
This portrait is charcoal on tinted paper. 1999.
