Walk Along the Beach

An 8x10. Oil. This is a painting based on a photo that our daughter-in-law, Jessa, snapped with her phone during an evening walk with her beloved dog, Liea. I love this time of the evening..."The Gloaming"...the part of the day after the sun has gone down and before the sky is completely dark. That soft almost night but not quite feel to it. This is in San Sebastian, Spain. On the northern coast of Spain. Is rated as one of the best in-city beaches in Europe. A beautiful place! I loved the reflection of the city lights in the water, the look of the soft sand and the big gnarly palm tree in the foreground. Thank you Jessa for the great photograph! Thank you looking.

Psalm 34:8

Kent's American Flag

A 16x20. Oil. This piece I have completed for my wonderful husband, Kent. I will frame it and he wants to hang it in his office at work. He is always my biggest fan! I love it! The ripples and waves in the silk fabric of the flag are fun to do. Lights and darks, lights and darks.... Thank you for looking.

Deuteronomy 31:6
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

Kent

An 11x14. Oil. My third attempt at doing a portrait of Kent. Fun to do. Or is it my fourth? Loosing track. Learning alot as I go. Watched some videos online about oil painting. Amazing how the thirst for learning about art can be quenched by just turning on the computer. Love it!

Psalm 37:4
"Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart."
