"I will always remember painting this piece . I had just started sharing my painting process on Facebook when disaster hit with Facebook and someone posting porn on my personal page and then six imposters hit my Meta account charging $9999 to my paypal account for advertising.  Talk about feeling trampled as FB froze me in every direction allowing those imposters to continue business... I would walk away from the computer and begin work on this painting thinking, dreaming, canvas prep... all of it and finally as you saw in the prior posts, the journey began. It is done and all through the power of God and not me. I felt lost a few times in the middle of it and He pressed me forward. I hope you enjoy it.  "  Social Security Dang, I could never

Why is it at the end of every day I can think of 100 things to write and share pertaining to life, love, family and painting, but at 11 am... my brain is still trying to make sure I finished what I needed to do this morning!.  This would be why I always blogged the night before and posted it to release in the early morning hours. Something to be said about 'the old days'.  Launching into November. Feels officially like fall is here when we reach the first of November. The trees in Texas rarely turn with color.  Our elm in the front yard is getting its tiny yellow leaves and the red oaks in the back are still green!  I do believe the fall colors are part of the painting I have been working on over the past three weeks ever so slowly until this week!   Change is good

I am working on a painting for Mirada Fine Art for their Holiday Push in November and December. I started this piece out more in frustration and celebration if they can be mentioned in the same sentence.  Many of you know of the battle on Facebook for me and why I am leaving the platform. The best part is you will see more of my art and process here on the blog I have had for 23 years.  Hence frustration turning to celebration. Deut.31:6  Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them,  for it is the  LORD  your God who goes with you.  He will not leave you or forsake you.” The painting began with just rust on the surface with a glaze to it. Next came the blues, the whites and finally the orange.  I do have an idea of where I am going with this.  I have an older sketch from about 12 years ago

Fall Rains and Facebook FALL RAINS: Some days I am not sure which direction to go, other than to the Lord.  This beautiful painting is one of the last painted pony pulls with color and a palette knife that I did and it is still available.  Just click through on the painting or on the " Available ". It is framed and the colors and thickness of the paint is incredibly strong. The colors in this photo do not do it justice, but if you click through, you will see the close up brilliant colors and texture of the thick buttery paint I use.   It is October but I have to keep reminding myself. At least we have only seen nineties a few days ago.  Tomorrow will be mainly seventies but ahead more warm days after. No fall rains. That is a bummer for our ga

The Water in Your Life We were on a trip returning from Saugerties, New York, driving through Pennsylvania when I spotted something that created a huge change in my life.  We were on a two lane road, (I do have a photo on my other computer), passing barns and older homes with wash hanging on the lines.. which included colorful quilts. As we turned a sharp curve/corner in the road and we slipped into the cover of woods. I had the window rolled down and begin to catch a glimmer in the tree line of tree trunks. It was a large brook with racing water tumbling over large rocks.  We followed parallel to the 'brook' stream for almost two full miles before it bent another direction. The spray of running water through the large stones through out this stream rose
