 Good People - 60 x 90 inches Oil on Canvas


“You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy. So let them go, let go of them. I tie no weights to my ankles.” C. Joybell C.

The Painting 🖌

The Good People is the very last one I will paint in this series. I believe I have maybe 8 or 9 variations out there in different sizes, all inspired once again by Jack Johnson and the song, "Where did all the good people go?"  Using the abstract pull of my palette knife in downward strokes, the contemporary painting celebrates color representing the people. This palette pull of color is something seen in my horse paintings dating back to fall 2006. Contemporary Paintings of action by knife infused with color. 

Sunday Play ⚽

Annie had us up early for her morning walk. Upon their return, it felt like a typical Sunday with Terry slicing fruit 🍎🍑and cooking oatmeal while I played Sunday hymns on the piano. Sometimes we sing together, sometimes he whistles while I played. It was a rush morning as grandson Noah's last indoor soccer game was at 9:45 a.m.  

We enjoyed his soccer game rooting and applauding all the players (all around age 6) running and chasing the elusive ball.   He played hard the first half.  I have never seen him speed run the way he did today. 🏃 He scored a few times and assisted in a few more.  He was proud of his participation medal... and now eager to play on his outdoor team with his dad coaching!

After the slow down on Covid last summer 2020, we purposefully planned our days with more purpose aimed at living and enjoying them. Out of those lock down days grew a stronger faith, a healthier diet, weight loss, muscle gain, and trying out lots of new good recipes.  In many ways we are closer as a couple and most definitely closer to our Lord.  

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.." Psalm 19:1
