Stacked Rock Art

An 11x14. Oil. This is a painting I did for Daily Paintworks, "The Rock Challenge". I have always enjoyed seeing these rock arrangements over the years. I pushed the color on this one as I often seem to do! As I painted I notice the interesting zig zag pattern that the sharp shadows created. Thanks for looking.

Hebrews 4:16
"Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence."

Rex

An 8x10, Oil. This is a portrait of a Yorkshire/Poodle mix. A sweet dog that my sister often takes care of.. for some friends of hers. His name is Rex and I understand that he is an energetic, expressive little thing and loves his people so much! Fun to do.

Hebrews 10:23
"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful."

African Matriarch

An 11x14, Oil. I recently read a short story by Jodi Picoult entitled "Larger Than Life" . A touching description of a field scientist in Africa and her encounters with elephants. The story inspired me to do this painting. Fun to do.

1 Peter 5:6-7
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

Red River

A 7x9, Oil. This is a painting I did while sitting next to the Red River in Red River, New Mexico. It was a beautiful spot. The town of Red River has done a great job of providing walk ways, shelters, little places to eat outdoors and bridges to fish off of to enjoy nature. Made it easy for an artist to find a spot to paint. Thanks for looking.

1 Corinthians 14:33
"For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints."

Red River View from Mountain Trail

An 8x8, Oil. Kent took a photo from a trail he was hiking this past summer. Wonderful view down into the town of Red River, New Mexico. I used it as a reference for this painting. What a beautiful area! Lots of trails to hike. I, however, did not hike...I stayed down by the river and painted! Thanks for looking.

John 15:5
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."

American Flag at Sunset

16x29, Oil on stretched canvas. This is the latest American Flag I have done for a friend of Kent's. Fun to do with the soft sky and sunset colors behind the flag. We are so blessed to be living in this country. I strive to not allow the political strife, uneasy arguments and changes bother me. Just keep praying for our country and leaders. Thank you for looking.

1 Timothy 2:1-4
"I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth."

Beach Pier

A 10x20, Gallery Wrapped, Oil. This was a fun one to do. Decided to use a low and wide canvas to accommodate the wide composition. Based on a shot of Huntington Beach Pier in Southern California. A friend of mine is from that area and has fond memories of going to this pier. Loved the pinks and blues, capturing the late evening beach colors at sunset. Thanks for looking.

Hebrews 10:23
"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful."
