Lunch Bunch

There is such a demand for these fluffy lambs which I often find grazing in my paint.

Girly Shoes

What little girl would not want to skip around in in pink tennies with hearts on them? Upon posting, I see that I have not yet finished off the eyelets nor signed in the lower left…back to the easel.

Number 10

This is a special request for a star player’s Birthday. Hope he likes it!

For the Ages

Enticed by a beautiful free photo on Pixabay, I decided to render it in paint. From an art point of view, I think line designs add so much interest.

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)

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.

Juncos

Visiting my window recently are these sweet white-bellied Juncos. He has a black coat and hers is a little charcoal gray. I read that they will build their nests anywhere from tall grasses to treetops.

Criss-Crossed

Have you seen these flowers in bouquets? They are great fillers if not used alone. They’re name is as playful as their look: Billy Balls.
