Red Grapes Watercolor 5"X 7"

I love grapes and I love to paint grapes.
Just about any time I paint them I think about
the children of Israel and the 10 that went
to spy out the land that God had promised them.
Numbers 13:23 Then they came to the Valley of Eshcol,
and there cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes;
they carried it between two of them on a pole.
(27)“We went to the land where you sent us.
It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit...
(33)There we saw the giants; and we were like
grasshoppers in our own sight,
and so we were in their sight.”
The promises of God are Yes and Amen but
what we accomplish is often based on how
we see ourselves and how
we think others see us
How do you see yourself today?

Red, White, and Rust

Watercolor 5" X 7"

I am not sure why I am so intrigued
with rust but I am. On a girl-friends weekend to
San Angelo, we browsed the antiques shops.
In the basement of one shop, I spotted this neglected
and out of place red, white, and rusted enamelware coffee pot.
It wasn’t upstairs in a prime location.
It wasn’t displayed with the expensive china and crystal.
But, I could tell by the water lines on the inside
that this little pot had been well used and probably
had a story to tell if anyone would listen.
Not pretty, not elegant, not expensive just a
little coffee pot that had seen better days.

Send The Rain Watercolor

Watercolor 5" X 7"
We are so dry here. I woke up this morning
with the prayer, "Send the Rain".
I painted what a West Texas thunderstorm looks like.
And then during our awesome worship service
the songs were about the rain. Thank you, Lord.

A New Day, A New Year

God bless you all in the new year.
Isn't it amazing how one day makes you feel
like you have a clean slate, new resolve,
new committment, and a new beginning.
Every day with Jesus should make us feel that way.

My Great Niece Watercolor Portrait

My great niece is so delightful and the moment she
sees a camera aimed at her she goes into beauty queen
poses. This time she didn't see the camera and this very
relaxed and natural image was captured by my brother.
I couldn't wait to try this with watercolors.

Merry Christmas

As you hurry and scurry about taking care
of all those last minute details
-remember Jesus.
He is not only the reason for the season,
but "in Him we live and move and have our being."
Acts 17:28
Have a blessed Christmas

Faith Moves Mountains Silk Flag

I painted several silk flags for fellow worship flaggers
in Abilene. One special order that I really enjoyed
painting was "Faith Moves Mountains"

Stephen and I went to Abilene to deliver the flags
and had the privilege of getting to explore the
highest point in Taylor County. The rocks in the
background were all compressed bits of shell.
This whole area was, at sometime in the past,
under water. Imagine.

Debra and Angel are worshipping intercessors
with a passion to see God's love and power poured
out on the Big Country. Angel and her husband are
the owners of this beautiful, rugged piece of property.

We walked, worshipped, prayed, and spoke
declarations as we carried these 2 flags to the highest
point. It was so awesome. We could see for miles!
They said that the area looks a lot like some of the
places they had seen in Israel.

Thank you, Debbie and Angel for a great morning
in His Presence and allowing me to
"Worship God With All My Art"!

Also, I have added a couple of new pages.
Check out the Silk Flags page.
