Persimmons

Both color and story drew me to this image. No doubt I will still finish up with a few more adjustments.
Angel Guardian

This is a special commission for a new baby. It will be signed in lower left corner.
Whoever Believes

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

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.
Riona Riverdance

Step dancing, anyone? Riona is ragdoll ready.
Light and Guide

I painted this angel from a photo of sculpture. I am drawn most often to the lines and planes that carved images present. Of course, I take a few of my own liberties like the ball of light. The statue had lost its arms over time.
