David Baum is a fine young artist who once lived here in the Adolph Rose building. I have several of his works; these are two of my favorites. If you examine them closely, you'll see that there's a lot more to them than what first meets the eye.
David is obviously a very religious person. Perhaps he was undergoing an inner struggle in his relationship with God, evident particularly in the first of these two works, when he painted them. For more information on David, see
