SOLITUDE (8×8/oil on canvas) None of us wants to be alone all the time. We need connection. There is no connection without vulnerability. I am learning some of this for the first time. When I was small, I spent a great deal of time alone. My life as a child was not necessarily happy. But, it was rich. Because […]
AMAZED BY THIS GRACE (8×8/oil on canvas) Give me a gift. Do this with me. Lets drive to the ocean. We can find a little place to stay. If it’s far enough south we can even find some warmth. I long to hear the waves, crashing against the rocks. I long for the stillness this

UNAFRAID (8×8/oil on canvas) Fear is negative. It is the same as faith, only it’s faith in a lie. We create with our thinking. We paint the images in our thought life. Most of us don’t realize the power of creativity we have living in us. It’s a good idea to thoughtfully build our hopes
THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD… (8×8/oil on canvas) Love will never get old. It is as if I woke up one day andcrossed over into a new land. Now I am aware of how love feels when I walk in it. I know a little of what “living in love” is like. What’s more,

THE RED SCARF (8×8/oil on canvas) She placed her red scarf on a hook on her upstairs window. Red had been her favorite color for a long time. It gave her energy. It emboldened her. Hanging it on her window was a laying down of her own power in exchange for a greater. She knew now, He can be trusted. She wants
REMINDING US… (8×8/oil on canvas) Sunflowers are my favorite. They make me think of Van Gogh in the field, painting madly. I don’t know what actually happened to make him end his life, but I do love his work and his story. A conversation with him would be more than amazing. Maybe some day, but until then, I
AN ANCIENT SONG (8×8/oil on canvas) This morning, while wandering around the little town of Portree, I found a lovely (wee) path, which led into a stone, fenced churchyard. The yard itself was overgrown and run down. There was one enormous tree in the center of that quiet space which sang a melancholy, ancient song
