Trish Yearwood Every time I think of the floods from Houston and Harvey, I remember the stories of not just the people, but those of the animals, horses, dogs, livestock... One call out on FB was from a frantic horse person that discovered a large group of horses stranded by water.  A fence would have to be cut, horses had to be lead out of the area through deep water and then there needed to be horse trailers for them and a rescue place as well. But in less than 30 min, the area was full of peopl

Langston Hughes Here is the final painting... for me there is emotion building through the colors in the dress, the skin, the hair...and then the water and the beach.  Life has all of this in it for us too.  We just seem to miss it. Take the time and see it. Stop and observe what you have been blessed with.  Do not be a broken-winged bird.  "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." Psalm 19:1

Eleanor Roosevelt This was a painting I did a few years back and it is in the home of a young woman I love like a daughter. She, like me, gains strength from water... from being near it, seeing it, feeling it. I loved using my knife and creating the movement in the water. Next post the final painting.  Do not miss out on life LIVING... challenge yourself and go and see the world. Job 38:4-7  Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretc

Wallace Stevens Our 'Golden Pond' is in east Texas. Some of the inhabitants were there almost year round and these three were my buddies! They are actually on the pond in the back yard between us and the lake.  Terry and I spent hours walking around our cove and peninsula on the lake. We would always take a morning walk about seven and then again about five. We loved to sit outside every evening and watch the sunset.  "What am I to do? I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good work, therefore any kindne

Light up the darkness, Majesty." Sarah J Maas, Queen of Shadows Actually began this painting three years ago, but revisited it recently to add more power behind it. It is available at the link above and is at The La Jolla Gallery in California.  Notice the one small patch of green in the painting and tiny springs of it on the opposite side. The contrasting play of orange and blue is what creates the power. The red up top compliments the green below. Habakkuk 3:3-4 God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Pa
