BE READY The season of ADVENT is upon us... and for our family, this is a special connection working in our lives preparing our hearts for the celebration of the Christ's birthday.  Preparation is good in all parts of our life.  From planing ahead, which often brings a giggle from our Father, to the full realization preparation of the heart, is dropping all your thoughts and plans into HIS hands.   We are truly a hands on civilization, believing we have control over our lives at all times. W...

Travel Tomorrow three paintings are heading to Colorado to Mirada Fine Art Gallery in Denver.  The show opens the weekend of Thanksgiving!!  This is not one of them... but just a teaser to stay tuned.  I found this piece to repost from 8 years ago and fell in love with it again.

I have learned to wait and if it seems good today and tomorrow and maybe in a few weeks... then act on it!  I am exploring both in painting and in writing thinking more abstractly I would say.   Blast of Blue was a good lead for me to test skills and it will take a few more like this.  I need to be even more basic.  Will try another direction tomorrow with a cradled Panel.  Thinking these will all be $199 right now as I experiment and take this journey. You will be right here next to me as we go. I know what the knife does... I want to try more things as I go. Abduction is a good word. Don't think of it's first meaning, look at its s...

Letting Go Our summer finally ended. Yesterday morning the winds switched from the south (we have been at 80 degrees for a week, down from 90-95 the week before) and with the north wind zooming in, Fall officially arrived with a cold freeze last night. It was 31 this morning but felt like mid twenties.  BLAST OF BLUE! I am working on a large canvas and this small one today . I have written often about 'getting in the way of the painting' and over controlling the paint itself. It works rarely when you do this. When you tightly paint or over compensate for what the subject is, you tend to lose the freshness of painting and the joy of the journey.  I am feeling that way with the larger painting... so...

Claim the Future by your Faith So much going on with my birthday party last weekend on Saturday. My daughter and daughter in love gave me a 70's party. Two grands were out ill, but everyone else came and we ate 'sliders, chicken planks, something hot and Mexican in taste, air fried potatoes, malts and root beer floats!!  Well I must disclose I ate a bean burger daughter Stacey made me!!!  The cupcakes were swirled high with frosting and since it was my birthday I ate one! (see my flowers in the hair below!) Was reading today...

"I will always remember painting this piece . I had just started sharing my painting process on Facebook when disaster hit with Facebook and someone posting porn on my personal page and then six imposters hit my Meta account charging $9999 to my paypal account for advertising.  Talk about feeling trampled as FB froze me in every direction allowing those imposters to continue business... I would walk away from the computer and begin work on this painting thinking, dreaming, canvas prep... all of it and finally as you saw in the prior posts, the journey began. It is done and all through the power of God and not me. I felt lost a few times in the middle of it and He pressed me forward. I hope you ...
