Sax Song

8 x 6″ oil paint on canvas sheet; use ‘comment’ below to inquire.

It must take a lot of “wind” to produce the energetic sounds of the sax. Musicians are always a wonder to me…translating small marks on lines into soulful and expressive tones.

Flourishes of White

The semi-abstract quality enticed me to paint this floral, along with the line design of the stems. I thought it would make a bold statement, but I am not so sure that was achieved.

Luxurious Lilac

Impressionism is all about suggesting the image and letting the brain do the rest. Lilac especially lends itself, or I would be painting a zillion tiny, four-petal flowerets. It is a joy to ‘suggest’ this sumptuous and fragrant flower.

Appreciation

After a luncheon to thank all participants, I was gifted with the table centerpiece. Of course, it begged to be painted.

At My Side

Even though I wander through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are at my side. (Psalm 23, v. 4)

Windswept Faith

When the disciples feared perishing, Jesus came to them in the night walking on water. After proving he was not a ghost, He asked, “Where is your faith?” I have painted several versions of this scene for a bit of whimsical uplift for the receiver. (Matthew 14:22-34, Mark 6:45-53, and John 6:15-21.)
