Is that possible? Find joy in everything you do. I certainly did. I am trying to figure out how to do this on a large scale. I love it. I loved creating it. Started with a mess and continued to grow. The first one was the Snow Drift painting just before Christmas. Then I played with this one.  As soon as I can figure it out on larger canvas, I will do it! Do you have your favorite jeans or slippers of Jamas? We each are surrounded by 'comfort' items in our lives. Mine is the heated mattress pad on our

All the build up to Christmas is over. How many people do you know that take down the tree that evening or the next day on the 26th.  They are ready to 'move on'  I want the joy to continue to blossom and grow in my heart... it will be

Pretty unusual.   Made me reflect what type of weather would have been happening in Bethlehem when Jesus was born.  When was Jesus born?  Most of us know we have the 25th of December as the celebrated date of his birth. I do know this has been discussed over the centuries.  The when of his birth holds very little to the birth itself.  I did find a really interesting site that traced back when Joh

I can feel the cold. Our temps in the Dallas area are bouncing from in the mid forties during the day with a predicted high of 68 on Christmas.  Might be why so many people are falling sick with the indecisive weather.  I continue to be thankful that i am not sick like I was last year. We are praying my Son in Law through the next few days as he was exposed to the flu.  Had to be by his boss too. With our daughter 8 months pregnant we all want to say to his boss, WHY did you go to work sick? WHY did you feel like you had to share it in a r

There are so many intense oranges and subtle oranges, but they really make a painting pop with life. Horse 90 is one of the bright ones in the herd. I keep throwing these closeups at you so you can see the beauty of the paint. It truly is the Spirit of the Paint for me.  It is the salt and pepper of color that finishes a painting.  We went to the Christmas Symphony yesterday. It was a large part of the family. Lady L and her parents, our youngest son Morgan and his wife Kelly...and

Click the image to go to Collectibles and you can find it there to see the close ups.  I love the earth tones on this painting... bringing it down a little from my vibrant palette.  Our granddaughter, Lady L is counting down the days to Christmas. Every time we see her or we are with her we are given the update repeatedly. "Did you know there are only three days until Chr

The colors of the horse reflect the royal color of purple. Horse 88... only 12 more to go! Saturday... time is flying past this week and Christmas is less than a week away. Terry and I are blessed to live so close to family again.  Plans are in place to share time with as many family memb
