Holy Worship

Holy Worship
6"x6"
Available
Oil and cold wax

We had a night of worship the other night. It was over-the-top, and more than amazing. The Spirit of the Lord was there. As the worshipers arose, Holy Spirit infiltrated, bringing many into his presence, into his goodness, and to truth, and into healing.  It was a night of Holy Worship, for sure.  This one is number 13 of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge.

Desert Majesty

Desert Majesty
5"x7"
Alcohol Ink on Yupo

     Number 21 of the 30 in 30 challenge, just completed!  If it hadn't been for these inks, I never would have made this daily challenge.  I got a new order in with new brands of ink and couldn't wait to try them.  The photo doesn't do them justice, as parts appear to be washed out.  It's so much fun working with these, but they sure have a mind of their own.  You never know for sure what is about to happen.  I'll price this and repost as I have a little more time.

"Land of Mine"

"Land of Mine"
Alcohol Ink on Yupo
5"x7"
NFS

     This is my number 16 of the 30 in 30 day challenge.  I had a day off today.  Or, so I thought.  I'd planned to do a larger, detailed watercolor.  But, one thing led to another catching up on house work and all of those necessities that pile up when you are non-stop on the go.  I resorted to another alcohol ink and Yupo.  I started to try other colors, but I have a hard time giving up my favorites.  Something happens deep inside me when I see these colors.  I can't explain it.  
     I can't help but think of Ezekiel 36:24 when I look at this:  "'For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land."  I bet my land would look something like this, rich in these beautiful jewel colors.  I always think about the colors of heaven, and how there has to be colors that we have not even seen yet.  Many times I lay and dream about the colors of heaven.  For now though, I'll play with what I know and continue to seek what I don't know.

"Deep Calls Unto Deep"

"Deep Calls Unto Deep"
6"x6"
Alcohol Ink on Yupo

     Number 9  of the 30 in 30 Challenge.  This is an original alcohol ink on Yupo paper.  The colors are more deep and more vibrant than even this photo can show.  It's a beautiful piece, hand signed rather than typed, and without the copyright of coarse.  There are so many images in this piece.  I looked at it for several days, studying and letting the Lord speak to me in so many ways.  The sliver of white light coming from the deepest places reminds me, that as we go deeper with Him, Jesus Christ, we are bathed in more glory light.  Hope you enjoy this piece.  It was a blast to paint.

First Snow

"First Snow"
8x10 Acrylic on Canvas Board

     Number 22 of the 30 in 30.  This was another back to basics value lesson taken from the Art Tutor online ebook.  This was a little more fun than the first couple of lessons, I guess because of the colors added.  I had fun doing it, especially the clouds.  However, I will be doing it again!  This time I will add my own ideas, I'll correct the clouds with a little more softness, and certainly fix that non-melodious mountain, that blends into the shape of the trees.  The photo reference does the same thing.  In this one, I realized that I did what lots of artists do....copied a photo, instead of making art.  I was concentrating on following directions and not missing some basics, that I fell into the trap of what nature was doing in the photo.  Nature doesn't always know best, when it comes to a nice painting.  Well, good thing the canvas board was cheap, and I have more!  Stay turned for my version of this one a little later on.

His Love

"His Love"

12"x12" Oil and Cold Wax on Cradled Wood.

This one was lot's of fun.  It has so many layers, and so much drying time.  It was not intentional at all, but God knows that I dedicate my art to Him.  I see the nail, the Rose of Sharon, the Heart, and the Tie that binds us to Him. Bless His Absolute Holy Name, Jesus.

His Love

"His Love"
22"x30"
Acrylic on Canvas
SOLD

     I painted this during worship today.  It was so much fun.  Several people came up to me and explained that from their seat in the sanctuary, they could see the face of Jesus.  It was very interesting, because, when I sat down, I could see a definite face.  It's odd because each person sees it in a different place.  And, up close it doesn't appear at all.  That's one thing that I love about this kind of art.  This painting SOLD before I could get it off the easel, and for a DOUBLE portion.  Yay!

Purpose of the Storm

"Purpose of the Storm"
11x14"
Watercolor on Paper

Sometimes I have wondered why scripture tells us to give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. (I Thess. 5:18), While painting this storm today, I realized that if it weren't for storms in which we have to learn to trust God, then we wouldn't have the experience in trusting, and growing. Duh. It's a no brainer, now that I think about it.

Hand Painted Silk Scarf


Vibrant 100% silk, hand painted and one of a kind scarf. Extra long for options in draping, this is painted with dye and steam set for stability and vibrancy. This one has a southwest flair with nice warm and cool colors. It's beautiful, and again, one-of-a-kind.

Credit cards are accepted and proceeds go towards missions.
