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.
Impromptu

Tulips always make a lovely floral statement. These are a bit richer pink than my camera can capture.
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.
Lord of Heaven and Earth

I gave this regal Jesus a more Mediterranean countenance. May our Link between heaven and earth bless us.
Appreciation

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

This is a whimsical interpretation of Jesus on the mount, teaching the Beatitudes…”Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth”.
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.)
Sips of Spring

It is May 3, and it is snowing out my window. More probably, there ought to be hot cocoa in this cup.
