And the moment you don't feel like reading your Bible, you'd better get that Book open.” Lori Wick Where the Wild Rose Blooms Flashback Saturday.  Although I have started a new painting, I am not ready to share it.  This is another painting that was totally a different subject horizontal. In fact it was wolves... big faces. It just did not make me smile so I flipped the canvas vertical and began scrapping and mixing thing...

Without the dark, we'd never see the stars.”  Stephanie Meyer, Twilight On the stories this canvas would have to tell if it could talk.  It has traveled several places in the US to a gallery and home.  It was a strong painting and really only wanted a home, but it was one of my Black and White series.  I always believe experience and starting over is what strengthens us and I feel the spirit carries into the canvas I work on.  I first tried adding color to the original piec...

Everyday it rolled off the sheet, bleached white, into the beach of my life. Come sunup, I'd begin to paint it with my thoughts and actions. My breathing, my living, and my dying. Some days the pictures pleased me, maybe pleased others, pleased God himself, but some days, some months, even some years, they didn't, and I didn't ever want to look at them again. But the thing is this . . . every day, no matter what I'd painted the day before, I got a new canvas, w...

You feel safe and comfortable.”" Jess C Scott This painting was about a herd of horses...traveling together. Made me stop and think about travel in general. Many like to travel alone some do not. Alone it allows a certain freedom not found in everyday life when things are pulling you so many different directions. Some of us have a passion to travel. It offers a new world without limitations. The way my hubby handled i...

It smells wonderful and disinfects beautifully. It works well on stainless, glass, counters, kitchen or bathroom....

I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.” Marilyn Monroe One of my painted ponies... miss painting these pieces.  New things coming. Spring is here in full force and God reminds me of it all around.  I have been working with artists on websites and of course urge them to use the Squarespace platform.  It is an incredible journey with...
