Texture Tuesday - Grandma's Berries

It's Time for Texture Tuesday. The theme this week

is gardening. These are Grandma's Berries. Actually, I think

they are Papa's. But she and I were in the berry patch to take

this photo. I have cropped it, used a guassian blur, added

Kim's Bentpages edges. If you love playing with your camera

and your photoshop, pop on over to Kim Klassen's Cafe.

Grapes in a Crystal Bowl Watercolor

 

Beautiful crystal bowl, plump grapes and morning sunshine.

I love this image. I love painting glass. 

This is my first attempt at painting cut or faceted glass

Wet Canvas has 1,000's of great, free images

in their reference library.

 

It has been a little while since I have made a WIP 

(Work In Progress) video. I thought this would be a

good project to do that with.

I look at these big, fat juicy grapes and think 

about the land that God promised His children...

When they reached the Valley of Eschol, they cut off a

branch with a single cluster of grapes. Two of them

carried it on a pole between them. Numbers 13: 23

Our God is more than enough!

Worship Dance Alliance

 

Dance With Me! Watercolor 8 X10

Last night I had the honor of being part of Christine Obert's

Worship Dance Alliance Celebration and Graduation.

 

I got to fly my silk flags with my friends, Keith and Karen.

Joe took pictures for me so we could capture some of

the dances and presentations. 

Julie has been taking dance classes at Christine's

Gracefull Steps Ministry Arts Academy. Beautiful!!!

I love this one of Rosetta. She is using my Holy Spirit Fire 

streamers. I was amazed with this image, 

as it looked like fire.

Praise Him with timbrel and dance...

Let everything that has breath

PRAISE THE LORD!

Psalm 150:4 and 6

Better With Age

This is a commission I recently finished for a friend

of mine. It took him years to rebuild this beautiful '57

Chevy. It was a pile of junk when he bought it and now

"Wanda" is better than she was when she came of

the assembly line. Jimmy took a lot of care and great pride

in making her new again, restoring her.

God does the same thing with us. He searches for us,

finds us, sometimes neglected, abused, or left for dead,

Others might see us as not worth the effort but

He sees beyond the faults, beyond the wreckage,

and knows the potential and that we can be

"Better With Age"

If any man is in Christ, he is a new creation: 

old things are passed away and behold all things

are made new.
