At the Base Chapel

My wife, Anita and I went to the Chapel at Fairchild Air Force Base this morning and we found a painting Of mine entitled, “Passover Lamb”!
This piece was featured in last year’s Terrain 12 event and has now found a permanent home at Fairchild AFB Chapel! Thank you all for making this happen: Chaplain Bishop, Chaplain Ritter, Fairchild AFB Chapel, congregation and Chapel staff! #TeamFairchild #Terrain Spokane Arts #AdobeDraw

I just received this today for third place in the National Veterans Creative Arts Competition!

I submitted this portrait of Korean War era veteran, Jerry Hood, which won Best of Show at the local level and placed third at the national level.

Passover Lamb

Passover Lamb, Digital Drawing by Antonio Romero

I was very excited when I was asked by Spokane Arts to make something with a Spring theme for Spokane’s “Get Lit” event. I had been wanting to do something with Spring in mind and this was perfect! Just in time for Easter/Passover! Happy Resurrection Sunday!


Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats. – Exodus 12:5

And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD’S Passover. – Exodus 12: 111

Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed.
– 1 Corinthians 5:7
