Pointalism, Crumblism, or Barkalism?

I am working on the 5th drawing within my "The Women With Jesus" series. In each work I am trying a new technique. During this most recent work, "The Woman who Touched Jesus' Cloak," I have been inspired to try pointalism. However, with a medium as firm as oil pastels, I have discovered it to be more like "crumblism," as the pastels seem to crumble all over the illustration board. However, our sweet Chihuahua, Pepi, has renamed the technique once again. She doesn't appreciate all the taps that this process makes on the board. Her response to all this tapping has caused me to think this piece has been more "barkalism" than anything else. Yet despite the crumbs and the barking, the process is creating an effect that I believe is worth all the chaos. I'll post an image of "The Woman" soon.

Artist Statement

As a pastor, my call is to share the liberating welcome of Christ. The work of art you see is rooted in this call. Because viewers are of various faiths or proclaiming no faith, this body of work strives to be not only didactic, but also fun for all to enjoy.

This body of work uses vivid colors, angular lines, and often, geometric shapes to recall Biblical narratives. The pieces are filled with compositions, visual textures, shading, patterns, and a variety of mark making that intrigue and resonate with people, whether they are drawn to their themes or designs. Composed of a variety of techniques, styles, and mediums, the pieces are usually studies of paintings, drawings, and sculptures created by well known artists, using the style of other artists to portray faith through contemporary form.

Viewers familiar with the scriptures will encounter stories of faith, bidding them to reflect and act in the example of Christ. Yet many have experienced pain within the Church. The hope of this body of work is to give those who have been wounded an opportunity to experience the Gospel without judgment, and instead be filled with the hope and life it was written to give God’s people.
