It became part of my clients love story!   This sweet horse painting was a look back at when I met my husband. I was 11 and he was 13 and it was summer of 1964. I would turn 12 a few months later, slightly catching up.  He had turned 13 in July of that year.  Those early teen years were filled with giggles, hand written notes on notebook paper, swimming at friend’s houses… and as always church and family. We had small parties on many weekends once spring of 1966  hit.  I cannot even imagine what this is like in today’s world.  We have lifelong friends from this time and we were all well loved within everyone’s families.  I only had one friend with a wo

I chose to start with one horse when I began, but I knew immediately there would be a second horse. When horses form a relationship, it is usually for life. A horse is intuitive with relationships with the humans in their lives, and I can only imagine how deep their feelings run for a companion horse. Enjoy the layers of color and overlays woven through the entire painting, while the slight abstraction keeps the edge of realism present.  Shop other Available Artwork.  Sign up for my quarterly newsletter and painting sales. People Humans have layers of experience but keep the core values they pick up as children growing into adulthood.  In our earliest years, we rely on safety, security, comfort, and care from our parents. With our changing world this is not true for every child today. If we are fortunate, we learned

"A nd Lo I am  with you all the appointed days - Matt 28:20     This morning I was drawn into the thought and reading of the day with Streams of the Desert. It was reflecting on two words, fear and hope.  What do you live with?  I realized immediately I need to redirect my thoughts to remember God has this and I need to stop trying to deal with things my way. Yes I need to have hope, but this hope is based on all He has accomplished through me in my years here on earth. He has never left me behind, he has walked through the shadows as well as my fears.  I must rise above.  His light continues to shine for eac

John 16:12-13 “I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now. However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.”   Did you ever slow down in life to realize you are missing a lot? A fast lived life is often focused on the wrong things.  There is much God has to share each day, but our eyes are on other things. Our thoughts are usually tied up in worries or planning or trying to fix things that are not ours to fix.   The simpleness of releasing the “constructive” confusion in our heads, hearts and lives is hard to grasp. Simply stop the noise and seek God or Jesus.  The Holy Spirit will fill you with what you need!  Wait

Nahum 1:7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.  Deut 2:31 “ I have begun to give;….begin to posses.”  If we are waiting for God’s guidance or a ‘ Telegram’ from God, we are not exercising pure faith. Pure faith is ready when trusting God is without any doubts or worries . Through out the Bible there is much said about waiting on the Lord.  It is easy to grow weary of waiting… and we struggle to understand why we are waiting…and waiting. The delays seem monumental.   My right arm has been unusable si
