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!

About This Painting:
This is a little plein air painting. I have been trying to get out more and work on location. It is also alla prima (all at once).
I had set up near my driveway and then found out I was in pile of ants. Not fun! Had to get some ant killer and relocate, but I didn't want to change the view. Got close enough, and it seems to have turned out alright!

I painted this double hibiscus yesterday in the late afternoon out in my yard. It is plein air (on location), and alla prima (all at once).
It is also a watercolor painting, which is not my usual medium. But I hope to start using watercolors more often. I love the watermarks and cool effects you get sometimes, like little surprises!
Ready to frame.

Dawning Desire, orange roses


"Dawning Desire"

About This Painting:
This is a commissioned piece. This is the last in a series of roses. Each one has symbolism in the meaning of the rose and in the colors. For example the color yellow stands for joy, and the yellow rose is for friendship. The color purple is for mystery and the unknown, or spiritual realms. So the yellow rose on a purple back ground was called "Enchanting Joy!"
My client has to be given credit for these ideas. He has challenged me and we have come up with a whole series of wonderful roses!
An orange rose is for new directions, a new job, a graduation, the beginning of a relationship, etc... and blue is for calm or peace, so 'Dawning Desire" is about the anticipation of good things.
I have really enjoyed this series!
Thanks for stopping by!

Good Luck, Hawaiian Ti plant


"Good Luck"

This Hawaiian Ti plant grows in my front yard. It is also called the Good Luck plant! It has been mowed over, blown down and finally was saved as a cutting. It came back a little shorter, but very lovely. I was drawn to the reds and pinks. When the sun hits it it looks fake!
This painting is called 'En Plein Air', which means it was done outside, on location.
Found the perfect frame for it, which compliments it well.

Enjoy!

Sunny Shadows, plein air painting

"Sunny Shadows"
About This Painting:

Egret study, palette knife painting

"Egret study"


About This Painting:
I am starting a larger painting that is similar to this. Just playing with different ideas, and working on the color scheme. I love using the palette knife for the texture too, but the larger painting will be done in a different style. I saw a lot of egrets and great blue herons at the lake the other day, and the weeds were all different colors. The birds got lost in it all, and the photos didn't turn out very good, so I tried to make improvements in this painting!
