Above are thumbnails of a small selection of my paintings. To see full larger versions, click on the thumbnails. Those not marked sold in the caption are still available for purchase and if you are interested in purchasing a painting, please e-mail me directly at darren@studiorousar.com. I also work on commission. If you have an idea for a painting that you would like to discuss with me, feel free to contact me as well.

I paint directly from life, most often using Sight-Size and generally in life-size. I also tend to use hand mulled paints and self primed canvases.

Most of my work is related to religious themes and the New Testament specifically. I have spent the last few years focused on a project called The Visual Gospel. If you have no idea why anyone would want to dedicated themselves to painting the Gospel, please take a look at Billy Graham’s site.
