They say you should paint what you know.... so... I really had fun with this one!! I know alot about little boys being little boys. I feel a new series coming on! I just love painting children in general because they have such expressions of joy and abandon! Also I have spent a fair amount of time at the pool and the beach and it definitely shows in my painting choices! I hope you enjoy them!!

Summer!

"Her Wedding"

8x8

Acrylic on Board
Sold

Summer is finally here which means I have so much more time for painting! I love having the ability to paint for awhile and walk away and look at things with fresh eyes. We have had the pleasure of attending several weddings this summer which inspired this painting. The brides are all so beautiful, innocent, radiant and in love. Our "pastor-to-be", Rev. Jean Larroux , also preached two incredible sermons last Sunday and the first was entitled " Her wedding, His funeral". This is where the title for the painting came from, and he discussed how the husband is literally called to "give up" his life and devote it to his wife. It was a remarkable sermon and draws the parallel between Christ and his church and the groom and his bride. How blessed are we that Christ chose to give his life for us! I hope to do a larger version of this painting soon!

Another Tree

" A Mighty Oak"

20x20

Acrylic on Canvas
Sold

I have discovered that I really enjoy painting trees. I find myself studying them when I am outside and looking at the way the light hits them, and all the different shades of green you see in them, and the different colors you see in the bark. I feel a series coming on! While I might still make some changes to this painting I wanted to go ahead and post it. I hope you enjoy looking!

My sweet friend Carole Foret gave me the "Sunshine Blog Award". I realize I have been
less than faithful about updating my blog lately, but this has inspired me to continue on! I am
still painting faithfully so I promise to update again soon! Thanks Carole!

This painting began with a photo that my friends brought back from a wedding in South Carolina at the beautiful Palmetto Bluff. I used some artistic license with it, by adding stained glass windows! I love stained glass windows! I hope you enjoy it!

Laundry Day

16 x 20

acrylic on canvas

I started this painting when I was painting at Carole Foret's studio during one of our weekly Color Cafe days. She was kind enough to let me bring the photo home so I could finish it and I had a lot of fun with it! I am trying to add more texture to my pieces and I think this one definitely has more than my others. Enjoy!
