Fun little palette knife painting done completely from memory! Sometimes I just have to play with texture, and the palette knife is my favorite way to loosen up because it is so expressive. I just need a break sometimes from the serious detail and realism of some of my commissions.....

Lone Sandhill, Florida landscape with sandhill crane

"Lone Sandhill"

About This Painting:
This one needs a little more work, just a few corrections, but I like the overall effect. This Sandhill posed for me, along with its mate, and I got lots of great pictures. This is a combination of a couple of pictures I took that day at the Savanna's in Fort Pierce.

Enjoy!

Savanna's Sway Too, Florida landscape

"Savanna's Sway Too"

About This Painting:
From pictures I took at the Savanna Recreational Center in Fort Pierce at my last paint out. I was captivated by the huge cloud that came into view, so I wanted to try to capture it here. The birds were everywhere that day, so I put a few of them in as well.

Crashing Waves, seascape demo

"Crashing Waves"

About this painting:
Created this as a lesson, from several photos. I went back later and added more waves and details to finish it out. When I teach 'follow along' lessons or demos, I keep it very simple, as we try to finish a painting in two hours. It moves quickly, and it is a lot of fun. But we only get the basic ideas in. Some students will bring them back and add their own ideas or finishing details. I usually try to change mine some, and detail it out before I post it for sale, as I always feel like it needs work.

Guam Surf, seascape rocky coast

"Guam Surf"


About This Painting:
This is a painting I did when I was just 18! I saw it at my foster parent's home when I went back to visit this past fall. I lived with them when I lived in Guam, and I was 15, and then again when I was 19. I am forever grateful for their influence in my life!

This is at Pago Bay, where my older brother used to love to jump off of the huge rocks into the coming swells.....Yeah, I tried it too, but I wasn't as thrilled as he was!

Sorry it is not available.

Endless Love, angel at sunset

"Endless Love"

About This Painting:
This one is not done with a palette knife like the other angel paintings I have been doing. It started as a sunset painting, and then I added the angel.

Sunsets, to me, are always reminders of God's creative nature, as if he painted the sky for us. It is also like a glimpse of heaven and His pursuing love for us. He does not give up on us, even when we so often go our own way.

Angel paintings are available by custom orders. They are each unique and very encouraging. It is exciting to hear how people are finding comfort and a touch from God through these simple reminders of His closeness in our lives.

Enjoy!

Endless Life, palette knife angel


"Endless Life"

About This Painting:

Evergreen trees are symbolic for life, and angels are messengers from God. Through creation we can see miracles and reminders that we are made to live forever. Our flesh will die, but our personalities, and our spirit will live on. My prayer is that you have invited Jesus Christ into your life so your spirit is united with his, creating a new and unique spiritual being that will live with Him forever!

(Feel free to email me if you would like to know more about committing your life to Christ. This is not about religion or rules, or man's traditions, it is simply about accepting God's gift and love in your life. )

Merry Christmas!

Endless Courage, palette knife angel

"Endless Courage"

About This Painting:
I am accepting custom orders for these angels. They are created with a palette knife, so the texture and paint quality is very good. I love the bold colors, but they can be done in softer color schemes also. My favorite part is that they come with prayers for God to touch your life again and again!
