For we have seen his star ...

The wise men described in the New Testament came seeking the new King ... "for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him". May we ever be seeking to worship Him through out our lives ...

See the Joy

I did two Christmas paintings this year, each of brass bells. We choose the "red" one to use as our Christmas card for 2015 ... hope you enjoy!

Hope

This piece depicts a young girl longing for her father's safe return from the sea as she waits for the fishing boat to return during a storm. It was a poignant experience for me to try to capture her emotions of concern and hope.

Bellevue Temple

I had the opportunity to paint and donate this piece to an auction to help a family in need. My sweet daughter-in-law was one of the organizers and invited me to participate. They had people bid on the painting, then collected the donations and gave the painting to the in need, who were married in this temple ... a very cool gesture of love on behalf of those who donated to the cause.

The View

We used this little study as reference material for my painting class this past month. A very fun study in values, creating distance, silhouettes, etc.

Roxy

Our niece's bulldog, Roxy, recently passed away. Maureen suggested that I do a painting of her for them to send as a gift of comfort. I thought it was a great idea and began researching her Facebook posts for pictures of Roxy. I found this one and immediately knew it was the one I should paint. What a wonderful experience for me to be able to help in this way ...
