Texture Tuesday - Rose Among the Thorns

 A rose from my garden and a crown of thorns I made

several years ago. As this week progresses I think more

and more about what Jesus went through for me and you.

I have used Kim Klassen's textures Serendipity and Sweet Treat.

Texture Tuesday - In Remembrance

I took this photo several years ago at a Women's Walk to Emmaus.

I absolutely love everything about communion. What a great price Jesus paid for us to not onlypartake of the elements but to have communion withHim. He longs to fellowship with us as we remember all that He did, as we are aware of allthat He is doing, and as we look forward to all thatHe is going to do. Jesus is the sameyesterday, today, and forever! Hebrews 13:8
I have used Kim Klassen's "Silence" texture.If you are interested in my photoshop recipe for this justlet me know. This photo is also available for purchase in my Etsy Shop. Have an awesome day! I am so glad you stopped by.

Fragile! Handle With Care

 

SOLD

Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas 16"X20"

Painted during West Texas Child Advocacy 

Child Abuse Awareness Banquet.

The hands have all colors of flesh because abuse and neglect 

knows no color boundaries. 

The child is holding a fragile, breakable glass heart. 

Children's hearts are fragile and need to be handled with care.

The proceeds from the auction of this piece was donated

to the Child Advocacy Center.

I Love Old Doors

I love old doors! Not so much "The Doors". 

I liked them a long time ago. 

And they are old now. I am talking about old doors. 

This is one from my 3rd trip to Guatemala.

It is hard to tell if the door is almost open 

or almost closed. Sort of like a half glass of

water. I have a door in my life that is half 

closed and half open. I am closing the studio but

not the art business. I will still be painting and giving

lessons. So we shall see if the next step (door) will be

open or closed. One thing I do know...

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own 

understanding; in all your ways submit to him,
   and he will make your paths straight Proverbs 3: 5-6

Texture Tuesday

 It's "Texture Tuesday".
