Stormy Sunset, skyscape, clouds, landscape


"Stormy Sunset"


Fun little palette knife painting. It has a somewhat abstract feel to it. I saw these very blue clouds against the stormy purple sky while I took my walk a few nights ago. It had just rained and the sun was going down, and the colors were changing fast all over the sky! I had to come home and paint it!

This little painting is on gallery wrap canvas, so the sides are deep and the painting wraps around the edges. It has a contemporary look to it. The canvas adds a grainy texture to it, plus it has the palette knife textures.
This painting continues on the edges, so framing is not needed.

Media: acrylic on gallery wrap
Size: 6 in X 6 in (15.2 cm X 15.2 cm)

Heavenly Hope, palette knife angel

"Heavenly Hope"


This angel reminds us that our hope is found in Jesus Christ. When we look to the cross and get our eyes off of ourselves, then we can find peace of mind and joy.
Joy doesn't mean that we have no pain, or that we are laughing and silly all the time, it just means that we are content and can accept the trials that come our way. We can thank our Father God and worship Him even in the midst of the trials. This is not for wimps! It is very hard to get your eyes off of what others have done to hurt you and forgive them, and it is very hard to sing and praise God when everything around you seems to be going wrong. Yet God asks us to trust him and believe that he will work it out for our good in the end. (James 1:2-4 and Romans 8:28)

Shore Line 3, landscape with an egret near a stream

"Shore Line 3"

This is a palette knife version of an earlier painting that I really liked, but wanted to see in a different technique. I like it much better this way! The textures make the colors jump off of the painting!

Enjoy!

Ready to frame.

Heavenly Connections, palette knife angel

"Heavenly Connections"

This is similar to "Endless Hope." It was a custom order that is in a larger format. I absolutely love painting these angels more than anything. They bring peace and joy to me in such abundance, and I send them on with prayers for those who view them. It is also a great reminder that Almighty God has put his angels around us to help us.
In the Bible angels are mighty warriors, and those who saw them fell down in fear! They can also seem like normal people, and we never realize they were angels. But often because of symbolism, we give them wings, and make them look like beautiful women. Which I am sure is very possible as well.

A little Spring, landscape with a natrual spring

"A Little Spring"


About This Painting:
From a painting demonstration for my kid's summer class. I added more detail when I got home. The lesson was on a limited palette. The kids each got to choose a color scheme. (This was my older group.) It was hard for them at first, but once they figured out they could add white and they could get grays, browns and blacks by mixing the colors together, then it became very fun! I love to see the light bulbs turn on as they try new things.

Thanks for looking!

Healing Hymns, palette knife angel

"Healing Hymns"
About This Painting:
This is the second part of a commissioned set. The first one was posted a few days ago: "Heavenly Horizons." Love these contrasting colors! I added more detail to the face and the Harp of David, so this one has a little bit different look to it, but I felt like it need more this time.

As Winter Ends, spring landscape

"As Winter Ends"


About This Painting:
This is a fun little painting with lots of flowers and the promise of warmer weather! The last time I was up north in the spring time, so many trees had flowers all over them!  This is a wonderful memory for me. This painting is also a match to "Summer's End."
