Dance!

This one is painted just for the love of the dance…” the language of the soul.” I have also noticed how black and white designs are prominent in new homes these days.

Raggedy Ann and Andy

Before I could read the words in a story book, I read the pictures of the antics of Raggedy Ann and Andy. Around the age of 4, when I was sick with the chicken pox or measles, my Mom gave me the book to number the pages….I think I got to page 23.

Happy Whites

Very loosely painted and purposely left a bit fuzzy.

Yellow Tulips in Blue Vase

The background and vase were successful; the tulips not so much. I just could not land the yellow I wanted, so this may be painted over (again).

Providence

Many thanks to the photographer of these strong mother instincts of care, sustenance, and providence. I find such wonderful images from time to time on the free photo site Pixabay.

Rear Guard

“The God of Israel will protect you from behind.” (Is. 52:12)

By Paths Unknown

“I will lead them in paths that they have not known… ” (Is. 42:16)

Aspirations

At age five, I watched a black and white tv rendition of “The Nutcracker”, and was sure that I wanted to be a ballerina.
