Raising of Lazarus
I saw another version of this in color that caught my eye which lead to google this artist. I couldn't find a lot on the web.

J. Kirk Richards

I originally credited this piece to the artist Bruce Hixson Smith who I couldn't find very much info about.  I was wrong!  A year or two later, I was looking online at the works of J. Kirk Richards and found this piece in his portfolio.  I saw it in person here a while ago and was in awe. I was so surprised at how beautifully framed it was.  There are a lot of great paintings on his website to check out.
