I made this digital painting based on a marvelous photograph by the Bureau of Land Management. We are looking south along Yaquina Head’s cobble beach. I was especially struck by the brilliant colors of the sunset to the west and how the colors both darkened and were absorbed into the gathering dusk. In the direct center of the image, the waves also play the game as the last light glistens off of their crests as if reluctant to let the light go.
These rhythms seem eternal and express a certain spirituality. They point to something that has been present before the earth was created, and that will remain when the earth is no more. Yes, I mean God.

Chuck's creative background is wide and varied. He was a professional violinist, a published author, a multilingual graphic designer, a community college teacher, a Lutheran (ELCA) pastor, and a book designer (interior and covers). As a result, his work could be broadly categorized as digital art. His graphic design influences his digital art; and his digital art has features of his design work. In other words, they overlap. Someone put it this way: "What you do is not traditional art, and it isn't strictly graphic design. It's somewhere in-between." Chuck says he couldn't have said it better.
