This is the second painting artist Bradley J Parrish’s “Creation Series". Both this painting and his first painting titled “Creation of Heaven & Earth” were winners in the annual ARC "Art Renewal Center" International Solon Competition, with the first painting in the series winning in 2006 and now this one winning in 2015-2016. The ARC Solon Competition is the most prestigious realist art competition in the Americas and perhaps the world. This piece is in their 2015-2016 international catalogs. Parrish says “I not only do I feel blessed feel that my very first painting in this series was recognized as an Internationally award-winning painting, but also that it had broken all records for the sale of just one of my works.” The original listed for $350,000.00 sold online in 2010.
This second painting in the series like his first one brings you to a moment of creation. In this powerful piece, Parrish captures our creator at the beginning of creation of the heavens and the earth. Here we see the world being created with the oceans, and the fiery emergence of the earth’s magma rising up from deep within the earth and cooling as it reaches the water and as a result steam rising toward the heavens.

(Third Painting In The Series)
The most prestigious realist art competition in the Americas and perhaps the world has chosen my painting titled "Still Water" in the 12th International ARC Salon Competition as a finalist to be included in their soon tho be published international catalog. This year they had 1,006 finalist works by 640 artists from 63 countries, representing 32% of works submitted. The thousands of artist's that enter this international competition bring forth great works of art that inspire us all. The best of the best are featured in this catalog.
I enjoy working on works like this piece. Every time I look at this piece I go back to that very brief moment in time and reflect on all that I felt when painting the piece. I feel the warmth from the setting sun, the smells and the quiet serenity while painting this.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT
By Bradley J. Parrish
Medium: Pastel on Paper
Image Size: 19" x 26"
Painted in 1989
Original Pastel on Canson Paper
Date of Original 1989
Background on this piece:
The inspiration for this portrait came from Mr. Parrish's gratitude and respect for the leader known as the "conservationist president." Teddy Roosevelt was instrumental in the establishment of the National Parks System in America, which was created by an act of Congress during his administration. Parrish chose to depict the President looking out the window because Theodore Roosevelt loved the outdoors and never liked being confined inside. Parrish recalls reading Roosevelt,
"Here is your country! Cherish these natural wonders, cherish these natural resources. Cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage for your children and your children's children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance."
~~Theodore Roosevelt
Parrish intended to submit this piece in the National Arts for the Parks Competition in 1989, but a pressing schedule and family obligations that year did not provide enough time to devote to completing it to his satisfaction. Brad had won this same national competition twice in the previous two years:
· 1989 Award of Excellence for "Another Day of Freedom", a painting of the Statue of Liberty, hangs in the base of the statue and is a part of the permanent collection of the Statue of Liberty National Monument Museum in New York City.
· 1988 Award of Excellence for "Snowy Owl", which was sold to a private collector.
Brad had placed this painting in a file between two sheets of archival paper, back in 1989 and did not discover it again until almost 30 years later. He signed his piece and framed it in 2017.

This is one of Brad's favorite phantom pieces. He painted the phantoms mask in this piece with as few important brush strokes as he could to maintain the immediacy of the moment and the feeling in this piece. for an artist to lay down a brush stroke without questioning himself and accepting what is coming out from him or her as an artist is the purest for of expression and that is what this piece so beautifully embodies.

Note: This is one of the earliest surviving oil paintings completed by the artist when he was 15 years old. Brad had given this original to his friend and classmate Maria while in middle school. Brad says he remembers her crying when she saw it and was so moved by it that he gave it to her. She kept the painting for over 40 years. The last time they got together, the painting long forgotten by Brad, Maria returned it to him. Brad did not want to take the painting back but she insisted saying, "Thank you for giving me this beautiful gift. I have cherished it for most of my life, it has brought me so much happiness. It's time I return it to you." The true reason behind the return was revealed a few days later when a mutual classmate informed Brad of Maria's passing. Deeply saddened by the loss of his longtime friend, Brad has decided to let this painting go, hoping it finds another heart to touch as deeply as it did Maria's.
