Miniature Tulips

Every now and then I am drawn to paint a still life. Unusual muted hues and arrangement are what entice. The peaceful beauty of mauves, grays, and aquas in the free photo I used could not be resisted.
Tender Shepherd

An old tv version of “Peter Pan” had a sweet song that was the Darling children’s night prayer. “Tender Shepherd, Tender Shepherd watches over all His sheep…” a line from the song. It just seemed a fitting title for this work.
Many Are Called

In the parable of the wedding feast in Mt. 22:14, Jesus says, “For many are called, but few are chosen.” These sheep looked to me as if they were responding to the shepherd….almost.
Lovely Weather for Ducks

Landscapes with a little twist draw me in and this one called for paint. The free photo I used was more of a silhouette of black against gold, so I added more of my own color scheme.
