Jeremiah One Eleven

"Jeremiah One Eleven & Twelve"

SOLD!  For prints visit Fine Art America

I enjoyed doing this painting and can't wait to frame it. I haven't felt that way about my art for a long time. These are almond blossoms, painted from a photo taken by Roger Brown. Thank you Roger.

Jeremiah 1:11-12 "Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen; for I will hasten my word to perform it."

Valentine Roses

Dennis gave me pink roses between our anniversary and valentines day; they inspired me to paint roses and after seeing a photo by Michiel Thomas, he graciously allowed me to use it as a painting reference.

Blown Away

When Maureen said that she was "blown away" at seeing these flowers, I decided to name them that because these wispy flowers wave and dance in the wind. They can be quite tall so they have strength in numbers to keep them from being totally blown down (much like us). Credit to Vicki G. for the photo.

II Corinthians 5:17

"...old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

Thank you Doris G for the use of this photo!

Hebrews 4:12

To be transformed as the butterfly delicately becomes a thing of beauty so the Word of God divides us, soul from spirit. The root meaning of "divide asunder" metamorphosis is the same process the butterfly goes through.

From Vicki G's photo; thank you Vicki, this was fun to paint today as I painted and watched it snowing outside my studio window one more time on April 12th.

Marsha's Peony

From a photo reference from Marsha on WcW; I've been wanting to try this Peony for quite some time; not entirely happy with the outcome, but stuck in a quest to conquor sunlight vs shadow.
