Here in North Texas we were below freezing already several times. But the past five days it has been in the 70's and my roses are blooming right outside my studio window. The next frost in about a week will kill them back again. I zoomed out in the misty rain today and snapped some photos to inspire me. I have not painted roses with knives in probably 8 years. It was time to have a flower in the studio... in fact I did a small flower today as well that I will share tomorrow. In this Winter Bloom 12 x 12 painting, you will have the thick buttery palette knife oil painting I have done over the past 22 years. I am collected world wide for my horses and anything done in knife, which is 98 percent of my work.
I had fun today... truly enjoy playing in paint and all the colors used.

Each day in the studio is a gift in awakening to God's touch in my heart and hands. He is the true spirit of the paint through me. Today especially I was pushed to paint, but spent the morning cleaning house... you know how it just leads from one project to another. We also put up the wreaths and the stockings and we are enjoying the beauty of Christmas.
Every day I encourage you to wake with an open heart and an open mind. God has this day planned ahead of you. He has this. Even as you encounter difficulties that often throw you for a loop... stop and breathe in, hold your breath and then blow it out. You have much to discover about your self from the gifts He has given you to share in your life with others. You might discover new things today. We often grow too settled in life and forget to embrace what can truly be, welcoming moments to be filled with ideas and gifts from God. I encourage you to build your faith.
Today I knew I was going to paint because I did not get to paint on the black canvas and NO it did not go the direction I had intended... it had a mind of its own. The paint normally does. This flower above was not the black canvas. It was the deep blue on the back ground and I was not even sure what I was going to create on the surface. A color laid is a color played! But with oils, you layer and the richness deepens. God was with me today. I did not get into the studio till mid afternoon. It is closing in on seven pretty quick.
I promised Terry I would go out and see the Christmas lights he put up in the front of the house. I am excited. We are doing blue and white again this year. It feels like the night sky with stars... Can you imagine how Mary felt?
