A Long Way From Home

My good friend, Renee has moved a long, long way

from home (home being West Texas).

She is settling into her home (temporary) in North Dakota.

Let me say again-a LONG way from home.

One of the first things she did in her new "land" was

to seek out a place to worship, 

which can be like trying to find a new family

.

Along the way she took a few pictures 

of some great, perfectly aged churches. 

When I saw her photos on her blog I

asked if I could paint this great window.

The window nor the building is the important thing.

The important thing is worship and the freedom

to gather with others to worship.

But the hour cometh, and now is, 

when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit 

and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

God is a Spirit: and they that worship 

him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 

John 4:23-24

Thanks, Renee!

W.I.P. Copper, Grapes and a Pear Watercolor

 

I wanted to share this little Work In Progress video. 

I absolutely love painting metal! And grapes! And pears! 

Well, you get the idea. I love to paint. 

I haven't painted much in the last week or two. 

There has been a lot of road time; shows, workshops,

conferences, doctors' appointments, etc.

And I have been "fall" cleaning. The cooler weather has

been a welcomed change to the hot and dry summer.

Change is in the air. I have a feeling that our

winter will be as extreme as our summer,except

where the summer was hot and dry this winter

will be cold and wet. We could use the "wet".

Here is the finished work.
