He Binds My Wounds

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. (Psalm 147:3)

Tied in a Bow

Something Blue

10 x 11″ oil paint on canvas panel

After all the straight lines of the last painting (Harbor Haven 2), I just had to do some loose and floppy work. Flowers usually fit the bill.

Harbor Haven 2

9 x 12″ oil on canvas panel

I do not know why harbor scenes entice me…peace? calm? afloat? boats? This one was a huge challenge with all the background architecture. Below I include an earlier, freer rendition that is Harbor Haven 1.

Oranges

And a little spatter on the bowl.
