Have No Fear

Isaiah 41:13 “Have no fear for I am the one who helps you.” These semi-whimsical shepherds and sheep seem to be desired by today’s audience. Hopefully, they speak the truth with a smile.

Home Sweet Home

Today is the Feast of St. Nicholas when surprises of sweets appear in shoes and on tabletops and gingerbread abounds.

Made in the USA

Bred in the U.S.A. for their beauty, the Royal Palm Turkey is just too pretty for your plate. Happy Thanksgiving anyway!

Effusion

Here is a bit more floral drama. Could a bouquet have a bad hair day?

Inner Glow

Florals with a bit of drama always call to me. There is something about putting them into paint that is hard to resist.

Sunflowers in Formal Vase

Which is the star of the show, the lovely vase or the playful sunflowers? I couldn’t quite resolve this…is it apparent?

Ladybugs!

I had three of these stretched canvases that seemed to desire something different from me. Line designs and punches of color are what they got!

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.
