So also Abraham 'believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.' Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham " Galatians 3:5-7 THOSE TIMES Have you had some of these recently? In my younger years I waited for postcards from God. I knew that was not real, but I would wait for a message or direction. As I got older I accepted the reality that abiding meant abiding and waiting on HIM meant doing it patiently.   The hard thing today is letting it ALL go to the point that joy fills my thoughts and my life, my words and my actions . Not as easy as I

I loved the home we lived in there. Plenty of room and large ones too... on two acres with a creek on the back. This is where I put down my brushes and Impressionism and took up a knife with my buttery oil paints. Again you see lots of red with orange and yellow. Contrast built with accents of blue and green and purple. Opposites on the color wheel.     It was

Christmas is less than five days away... the 21st is just 9 hours away. I am working on feeling better faster!!!  I actually slept almost 9 hours last night and I am feeling closer to 85-90 percent better.  I must tell you ZICAM works as does Sambulcol Flu and Cold. Totally surprised.  Christmas is the time for Gathering and that is why I chose this painting to share today, from 2007.     I painted about four in this serious. I am pretty sure if I painted today, I would not have left a large white rear end in the top center of the painting...but it did not last longer than 24 hours on my website.   🤪 My mind has been mulling over using some raw canvas in the closet and cutting off a hunk of it for experimenting.   I want to gesso it at least twice or

It was sold within five minutes of posting it... and NO hesitation.  It is oil on Canvas panel and was painted in January of 2013, just before we sold our lake house to move back to Dallas. The cool of winter and the few warm days that sprinkled January inspired the thoughts of spring to come.   Thoughts I am not hesitating at all tackling the word "Hesitation". Hesitation can cost you your life or someone else's life.  I hear my father in law, Ben speaking to me, "If it is a good deal today, it is a good deal tomorrow."  Does tha

This was part of a painting that began as two horses sketched on a canvas... paint applied and knifed around... and this beautiful contemporary horse emerging. There were parts I loved and parts that seem weak. It stayed like this about 24 hours and I was back to play with it. This painting no longer exists.  Palette Knife Modern Representational Abstract Horse Painting called Summer Winds.     👉 LIFE 😀💏  "Change" September the month that marks the change from the summer heat here in Texas. Our temps will stay in the 90's most of this month and this week the high nineties.  It was noticeably cooler this morning... but only this morning! 😎  How is it wh

Over the days it went from two horses to one main horse and then back to two horses and another day to this final arrival. The spirit of the paint and God’s hand in each piece allows the natural fall of colors and shapes to form what is there.  Representational Abstract at its best!  TOGETHER! 24 x 24 and framed to hang. 😍  Life Today  😉 I have to be honest with you. The past two nights have been different. One night I was up and down and only grabbed about four hours of sleep...then last night... I was asleep by 9:30 and woke up at 4 this morning. I REALLY wish I had gone back to sleep but I was awake.  Wha
