Twinkies

An 8x10, Oil. A little sentimental piece I have just finished. Based on a photo taken many moons ago of my sister and me. Our mother made all of our little dresses. We were on a walk together. Probably did everything together. Notice the little crackers in both of our free hands. Totally crushed in our fists! We are still very close, my sister and I. Still holding hands in our spirits.

Colossians 3:16
"Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts."

8x8 Crown of Thorns # 3

The third 8x8 in my Crown of Thorns series. This one is still available. All the others have sold! Again..alot of fun using color. Just love the process. Easter is coming up. I know that my rendition of Jesus with his crown of thorns is not even close to the suffering He went through for us. But each time I paint this...I do remember and am thankful.

John 5:24
"I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life."

Crown of Thorns 8x8 # 2

An 8x8, Oil. My 2nd Crown of Thorns painting in this smaller size. I really like the speed in which I can finish this smaller size. Allows me to experiment with color rather than worry about covering a big canvas. Also, this is on a canvas panel. Did not have to do the sides of a gallery wrapped canvas. Which can be tricky! The gallery wrap is nice in that you don't have to frame the painting....but I like the framed Crown of Thorns too. Thanks for looking. God Bless.

Joshua 1:9
"This is my command - be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

Bottles # 2

An 11x14, Oil of bright colored bottles sitting on a glass shelf. I did most of this piece with a palette knife. Used brushes to get the soft watercolor look for the background. Lots of scattered color in this one. Fun to do! Thanks for looking.

John 8:31-32
"Jesus said to the people who believed in him..You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
