John 13: 34-35  “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.  By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. “ It has been a long February still sick with what I started in mid January.  I started on antibiotics Friday…hoping we can end this drain…thanks for your prayers, they are appreciated.  I am ever so grateful for the two paintings that sold.  One stays here in Texas and one heads to Illinois.  The Texas one is a first time collector but I feel like I know her because we met through mutual friends on Facebook. The Illinois collector has been with me at least ten years, picking up small pieces here and there.  This is why I will continue to paint for sma

Living in the Dallas Ft Worth area gives us welcome visits with my collectors. I think it is my favorite part of this job. 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.

"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

" He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.” Daniel 2:21    I am reminded of a favorite verse from Philippians that we should go to the Lord in prayer and supplication while giving thanks to make our needs and desires brought forth before our God.  We all have needs, hurts, pains, and discouragements right now in our lives. In today’s world, we are all affected physically or mentally by life, illness or need. For many of us, our expectations have not been met, and our feelings are raw.
