Reaching, Impressionism landscape, 8 x 10 Daily Painting



"Reaching Out"
8 x 10 inches
Acrylic on Gessoboard
SOLD

Reaching out to those around us, or inward, we all need a touch now and then. God reaches out to us everyday, pursuing us as we rush about our day. He speaks to us through people, through nature, through his written word. Jesus is a gentleman, he never yells, never demands, and never insists we follow his leading. No matter how faithless we are, he still reaches for us, wanting us to talk to him. This scene reminds me of a time when I just heard him say he wants me to share with those around me. I tend to keep my mouth shut, but I have decided that I just can't hold it in anymore. I hope my art reaches you.

Closer look, 8x 10 Daily painting, Impressionism


Title: "Closer Look"
Size: 8 x 10 inches

$750.00

This is the same set of plants that are in the foreground of yesterday's painting. I just loved painting them and wanted to zoom in on them.
It also refers to looking closer within ourself. You never know what wonderful things are lying below the surface just waiting to be explored. With God's direction, we have so much to look forward to.

Free, Impressionism Landscape, 8 x 10 Daily Painting


Title: "Free Indeed"
Size: 8 x 10 inches
Medium: Acrylic on gessoboard

Not Available

Just feel like everything in nature is free to exist in the way God intended. Sometimes we have a hard time believing his way.

Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

Saw this gator sunning last weekend when we went fishing. At first glance I only saw his tail. The rest of him was almost hidden in the lilly pads. When he turned toward us and went under, I got very nervous! He looked big enough to more than rock our boat . . .

Living Waters, experimental painting 20 x 30




"Living Waters"
20 x 30 inches
Acrylic on canvas

$1,200.00


 Did a series of these experimental paintings a while ago. They start with thin layers of under-painting and then glazing. Thick paint is added last for contrast and detail. They are symbolic for tears and rain bringing about growth and life, physically and spiritually. I think this was the last one in a series of about ten.
