Lunch Bunch

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

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. (Psalm 147:3)
Harbor Haven 2

I do not know why harbor scenes entice me…peace? calm? afloat? boats? This one was a huge challenge with all the background architecture. Below I include an earlier, freer rendition that is Harbor Haven 1.
Blossoms of Vietnam

I just thought she was so sweet I had to paint her.
Overview

The gull activity at the beach never disturbs me; I could watch it endlessly. These are coming in for snacks in the shallows no doubt. I still have to do some clean up and refinements on this work.
Persimmons

Both color and story drew me to this image. No doubt I will still finish up with a few more adjustments.
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.
Dome of Notre Dame

For one who loves the campus at Notre Dame, Indiana, this was a special commission a few years back. The famous golden dome with Mary, Mother of Jesus atop draws people from all over the USA and beyond..perhaps mostly for the football games.
Winter Fairyland

Well, I haven’t seen so much fairyland this winter, so I was prompted to finish a year old painting. Some works need a lot more ruminating. This actually has more lavender in the foreground than my camera can capture.
