My Light

“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom should I fear?” (Ps. 27)

Decked Out

Even before Halloween this year, I noticed some commercial “decking of the halls” around town. Traditionally, we Sisters of Notre Dame try to put in a somewhat solemn Advent preparation before we pull out all the stops for wondrous Christmas Day. However, joyful anticipation undoubtedly fuels celebration.

Top Chef

The pigtails and the black buttoned chef coat drew me in to this free photo on Pixabay with the tag geralt. Secondarily were the muted lighting and warm grays that surround her. I put in the foreground pot, onion, and greens.

Chickadee Chatter

Busy, friendly little creatures, the chickadee is always formally dressed which makes them always fun to paint.

Ribboned Floral

I was asked to paint from a friend’s lovely photo of this elegant vase of flowers. Hopefully it meets expectations.

Dwelling Place of God

This is an older painting that was sold a few years ago, but I do not think I ever put it on this blog.

Laughing Jesus

There are plenty of incongruities in the human condition that could make God laugh.
