Stay With Us, Lord

Jesus will abide with us if only we ask. (See Lk. 24: 28-29)
Like Sheep Without a Shepherd

When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
(Mt.9:36)
Duke

Earlier in the year, I was asked to paint this pair of pals as a potential wedding anniversary gift. The woman whose name I never learned was fond of her hiking partner Duke, now deceased, so her husband commissioned me to produce this image from his photo. The anniversary is now past so, alas, I am revealing.
Rose of Yesteryear

Several year ago, I received the commission to paint this lovely bride from a black and white photo. She is a gem in time and hopefully had a rich life ahead of her.
Dear Jesus…

Below are two earlier stages of many of this nearly refined painting. Pure and innocent, a child attuned to heaven.
