DESERT DWELLER
A day trip to Sedona AZ produced the photos
that inspired this painting. Comprised of two different photos taken in the Sedona area.
THE DANCE
We have a yard full of oak trees. Having
always loved the colors of fall, this year I finally put brush to canvas to paint some of them.
There is another part of this painting. My wonderful husband and I met and married after we were in our ‘fall’ years. When we met, we were both kind of flying around trying to find what we wanted to do with ourselves sand kind of ‘crashed’ into each other and now are dancing through the rest of our lives together. I would not want to be ‘Dancing’ with any other person on this Earth.
PRAIRIE ANGELS
Prairie Angles is
a painting about the trials of the pioneers coming across the planes and
settling the United States. Many did not survive the hard trek and their bodies
were buried along the trail. But then they became the Angles who helped the
others to push the hand carts, comforted the ill and sang songs of encouragement.
These five angles seem to be waiting for a chance to reach out and help in the time of need.
EQUALLY YOKED
“Our concept of marriage is motivated by revealed truth, not by worldly sociology. The Apostle Paul taught, ‘Neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord’ (1 Corinthians 11:11).
President Spencer W. Kimball explained, ‘Without proper (equally yoked) and successful marriage, one will never be exalted’
WISE EYES
I painted this for a charity auction, that never happened.I ended up really liking it and am very glad I painted it.
RED BARN
This last year I challenged all of my face
book friends to post photos they thought would make good paintings. Then after
a set date I would chose several and then they could vote on which they liked
the best. This painting is a combination composite of two of those photos, one for the main body, the other the sky. I will be giving them this challenge again
at least once a year. It was very fun to do the challenge.
