The Fruits of Spring

People tell me you can look at my artwork and see what is going on in my life and I suppose that is true! When the flowers start blooming I paint them and when I travel I paint the places that I have been. I recently took a trip to Mooresville, Alabama with some friends and we visited 1818 Farms there. What a lovely place and fabulous people. I am sure I will be painting more from our adventures there.

The chickens there were some of my favorites, along with the goats and sheep ( coming soon).

Spring Break!

The week of Spring Break was a very productive time for me! Though the weather was less that cooperative I got in lots of quality painting time. I took a little venture back into some landscape work but still had to get in one nest painting since it was Easter week! Nests and eggs just have such symbolism in my life. Representing the safety we have in Christ and the hope of new life yet to come! I hope you all had a great Spring Break!

This painting was inspired by the novel " The Shack" by William P. Young. After reading it, I searched for images of rundown cabins, shacks, etc.... and ending up finding one in my own backyard! Well....my husband's backyard, on his hunting farm in Tennessee. This little house sits on some hunting property and is the childhood home of the woman they rent their hunting cabin from! When I saw it I knew it was the one!!! What a beautiful picture Young paints in his novel of how we are all just like run down shacks until we allow Christ to move in and turn it into something beautiful. I hope you enjoy my interpretation!

Saturday is for Painting!

I have been wanting to paint sheep for awhile and just now was able to come up with a good source photo. Painting animals that are all white is challenging so I decided to give her some color! I have a rooster to post as well that is done in similar colors. I may put him down below. Thanks for looking!

This is one of my favorite times of year when all the hay is being cut and rolled. I took this picture between Huntsville and Fayetteville one day as I was driving and I looked over and saw the sun hitting the hay bales and I just whipped my car around and got out and started taking pictures. I love the way they looked all scattered around the freshly cut field! I hope you like it too!
