Guardian Angel

An 11x14, Oil I just put the finishing touches on this afternoon. This painting I did in honor of a ministry group, "Guardian Angels" I am a part of.  I plan on doing 2 more Angels in this series of paintings. I wanted to achieve an ethereal feel to this one. The light she carries symbolizes the light of our Lord God. The deep pink I used is a favorite color of mine and makes me happy! So...resulting in the color of her dress and wings! Lots of texture in the dress folds...that are not easily apparent in this photo. Thank you for looking. Have a great week!

Psalm 91:11-12
"For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone."

14 Hours On A John Deere Tractor

A 16x 20 I finished today while painting with my Artist Buddies! Wanted to get that wide open space we have here in Oklahoma. Dramatic sky and the red colored soil. I will give credit for the title to my husband. He tells me it is the title of an old country song he remembers. I like it! I know our farmers put in those long days like that and often times on one of these John Deere Green tractors with the dust kicking up behind them. God Bless them! This was a fun one to do. Thank you for looking.

Psalm 18:30
"As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord's word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him."

"Wait For It...."

A 16x20 Oil on stretched canvas I just finished today. Whew! These larger pieces take alot of paint and time! I asked my son and husband to assist in coming up with a title for this one. "Wait For It...." seemed to say it all. The poor guy is being patient, wanting to go plunge into that water and go for those ducks! This is a larger version of a previous smaller painting I did earlier this year. Fun to do. I think I will start doing more  duplicates/multiples in the future. It's a good way to learn different techniques, coloring and composition. Thank you for looking.

Philippians 4:8
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true...noble...right...pure...lovely...admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things."
