Heaven's Answer, palette knife angel

"Heaven's Answer"

I really wanted to emphasize that the focus is not on angels, they are God's messengers, they always remind us of Christ. The fallen angels will show up as lost loved ones and try to keep us from moving on. They will do anything to keep our focus off of our hope. If we aren't careful we can forget where our thoughts and prayers should be.
God asks us in His Holy Word not to grieve as those with no hope. We have the hope of a great reunion because Jesus gave his life for us. The Bible also tells us to count our trials as joy (in the book of James), and also to look ahead and not behind (Hebrews 12 and Luke 9). With His strength, and his power we can do the things he asks. Believe me, it is not easy! If you haven't asked Jesus in your life, then that is the way to find this inner strength and power that He wants to give to you.

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." I love these contrasting colors! I added more detail to the face and the Harp of David, so this one has a different look to it (more realism) but I felt like it needed more this time.

Endless Peace, palette knife angel

"Endless Peace"

This little painting is part of a series of knife paintings I am experimenting with. It started with blobs of color straight from the tube. I began to exaggerate the swirl and then decided to add the angel.

 I just love the textures and the way the knife gives an abstract feel to the whole thing. It is purely a selfish creation on my part. I got frustrated with a couple of other paintings that are not coming together yet and did this one as a way to cheer myself up and re-gather my composure. The angel reminds me to let things go and be patient.

Thanks for looking!

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 Healing, palette knife angel

"Endless Healing"
About This Painting:
My friend, a single mom with 3 small ones, was diagnosed with MS this week. I did this for her. I believe these paintings are like prayer cloths of the New Testament Church, when many found healing through the prayers passed along in cloths. To me these angel paintings are symbolic for God's touch, which we so desperately need each day.
I have heard people say that some paintings, landscapes and seascapes mostly, have brought them healing while they were on there sick bed. They could find peace and rest gazing at that painting until they were well again! What a wonderful thought! It really confirmed my beliefs about these angel paintings too.

Endless Grace Again, angels with doves, flowers, and harp in mountain landscape

"Endless Grace Again"

About This Painting:
I have been in heaven painting these angels! This is a commissioned painting, so it is already sold.
The number 5 is symbolic for grace. Each angel has it's own color, and symbolism as well:
The purple angel is pouring out God's love through His Holy Word
The Burgundy angel is pouring out flowers that never die, they carry God's forgiveness and are symbolic for the Blood of the cross.
The yellow angel with the harp brings healing and joy into broken lives.
The white angel is releasing doves, which are symbolic for God's peace and the Holy Spirit which He gives to us for power to overcome the trials of this sin cursed world.
The orange angel is sounding the trumpet call: announcing Christ's return, the beginning of a new heaven and a new earth!

Endless Grace, 5 angels

"Endless Grace"
About This Painting:
I love these little palette knife paintings full of symbolism.
5 is the number for God's grace, so I put five angels in all their own colors. Using the palette knife for the abstract quality and texture, I tried to capture a sense of wonder.
Purple is for the unknown, or spiritual awareness, also it can symbolize nobility.
I added the star in the shape of the cross to symbolize Jesus as the morning star. And I made the bottom of the sky a little lighter to indicate that the dawn is approaching.
I especially like the colors of the angel's overflowing onto the plants!

Endless Song Too, palette knife Angel


"Endless Song Too"


The format of this commissioned painting is larger than the previous painting "Endless Song," and this one is vertical instead of square. 

It is actually the third palette knife painting of an angel done in this style. These are so exciting to paint, with lots of thick intense color and wonderful movement. I have already started another small one in a different color scheme and a different arrangement.

Looking Up, palette knife painting

"Looking Up"
9 x 12 inches
Acrylic on hardboard

Is there such a thing as a little miracle? Or are all miracles a big deal? So many little things, prayed about specifically, have become answered prayers, and some pretty big things too. Sometimes the small ones are so unnoticed to others, yet very extreme to you.
I took a walk the other day, close to sunset, and saw this little hill and the light pouring down. I got down on my knees and saw it from a whole new angle. WOW! The impact and glow was greatly intensified. I tried to capture it here. I used a palette knife for that feeling of time flying by.
Waiting for a surgery date, running many tests, getting put off for who knows how long, watching my husband fade, his mind is shutting down, he is giving up. Another doctor to go and see, then maybe a surgery can be scheduled . . . A small tumor in his ear, now pressing on his brain. So scary. Every day he gets worse.
Things are really looking up these days!
This new doctor looked over the tests, he called, he says we need to do something right away! What an answer to prayer! We go Monday and Tuesday for Gamma Knife surgery. One dose of intense radiation, kills the tumor.
Just like the sun rays, so intense, down on my knees praying for a miracle, and now I see, this is the miracle! This doctor could have put us off too, required a consult like the others, and time is so precious. He saw the need, he is taking us in in just a few days.
The tests are all coming back good, even the arteries in his neck, which had started showing clogging two years ago on one side, they came back clear. another one of those things that we prayed about, because he would have had to have them cleaned out first . . .
I just have to thank God, over and over.
But then all the little things, running into an old friend, exchanging a needed hug, kind words from email buddies, a song that meant the world to you played at just the right time. All around me I see God's hand, it is as if he is telling me he cares, he hears, and my prayers count too. My husband may have given up, but I don't have to. God has the final say!

The Sabbath, wildlife, great egret


"The Sabbath"
12 x 16 inches
Acrylic on canvas
ready to frame



I started out with too many colors, and nothing would come together. So I took a little breather and slowed down. Then I put on some worship music and thanked God for all the blessings in my life. Then the painting came together and it felt like Sunday worship service. It was as if God showed up and took my hand and showed me the way. I love it when He does that!




The Sabbath means a day of rest. Saturday or Sunday for most, but if you take your day off in the middle of week that is good too, as long as you give yourself a day of rest! God knew we needed that or we would get to run down.
Some people still get hung up on the old laws, but Jesus only gave us two commandments, To love the Father with all your being and to love each other!!!!

Rainy Day Angel, palette knife painting

"Rainy Day Angel"

#5 in the blue series. I used a composition of split compliments. Blue-green, blue-violet, orange, black and white. Orange is a true compliment to blue, so by using the hues on each side of blue I have split the compliment. I could have done it the other way: with Blue and Yellow-Orange or Red-Orange.

This is a palette knife painting, which gives it that almost abstract look, which I love for angels.

When we are down, we can be sure God is still with us. His messengers are all around. We can find comfort even when times are tough.

Healing Waters, Waterfall, blues #4

"Healing Waters"
8 x 10 inches
Acrylic on hardboard

Not Available

I used the analogous blues moving from green to blue-green to blue, and then added black and white for value changes. I added a touch of contrast with the complimentary color (orange). I mixed my own orange so you can see some yellow-orange and some red-orange also. I like getting variations by mixing my own colors.
I kept thinking about the song "Healing Waters" which refers to the living water of Jesus Christ. By his Spirit we have strength and healing for our soul.
Enjoy!

Angel, Spiritual art by Fawn

"Angel"
5 x 7 inches
Acrylic on hardboard
Not Available

This is based on a dream that I had. The wings of the angels were not visible, just blurs of light. The rays of light came out in all directions. I also had a vision once where the angels were moving about quickly, and all you could see was a flash of light, like a moving orb. In that vision the angels where waiting and listening to The Father, whom I could not see. They would each take off as they were given a command.
This painting was done with a palette knife, to give it that abstract or expressionistic quality. It only symbolizes an angel, as often times they appear as people and we never even know they were sent from God to help us.

Hope and Joy, Horses, Mare and foal, Realistic impressionism

"Hope and Joy"


I love the soft textures of fur and the glow of warm colors in this small painting. The miracle of a new life and the closeness of a protective mother give this painting many implications. Even the names of the horses imply a touch from our Father.
