Whoever Believes

8 x 8″ oil paint on cradled artist board

In the night time talk with Nicodemus, Jesus said, “…whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ” (Jn.3:16)

Miniature Tulips

11 x 14 x .5″ oil paint on stretched canvas

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

14 x 11 x .5″ oil paint on stretched canvas

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.

School of Aquatics

14 x 11 x .5″ oil paint on stretched canvas

Many Are Called

11 x 14 x .5″ oil paint on stretched canvas

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.
