"It comes in steps before you feel the full power of love surrounding you. Same with this painting... I had an odd beginning with acrylic light layers before the oil joined the circle. I chose horses of course and in their true color of spirit... for me the Spirit of the Paint is God and His unfailing love for us. I bring you Circle of Love to start every day with!"  Elle   CIRCLES Circles are important in our lives. I came across an article on circles. Humans are drawn to the shape and even young babies  prefer Circle to straight lines.  A preference for circular shapes is deeply ingrained in all of us from birth.  "A 2011 eye-tracking study found that at five months of age, before they utter a...

Your people will be my people and your God my God."  Ruth 1:16 When I paint horses that are 'together'... I am always reminded of the ties in Ruth to her mother-in-laws family.  It also reminds me I was 11 and Terry was 13 when we met.  I will follow you.... and I still am, or is he following me?  Well, I know we both are following God.  BE OF FAITH Just a short thought after painting today... sometimes my 'abstract' pieces remind me so much of our lives today... Esp in the past four years. We have seen times of trouble and worry but not like ...

" This sweet baby came from an inspiration by Helmut Hussman on FB who shoots photos of wild horses… I may take the inspiration and go different directions than the original in color and background, but the love of horses and their spirit is always foremost!" Elle Tentative - Hesitant Have you ever been hesitant or felt tentative about doing something? The painting change from Oils to Acrylics is where I am at with both words.  I have painted in oils almost exclusively since 1981.  This change is being made for health reasons as well as not having 5-10 paintings hanging around the house trying to dry to send out!  I can tell you back in the days of ebay from 2002 till 2010...
