Heaven's Touch, seascape, horse and girl, 30 x 40

"Heaven's Touch"
30 x 40 inches
Acrylic on Gallery wrap canvas
(sides are painted)
$5,000.00


Detail:

I have been working on this painting off and on for almost a year now. It is all about contrasts and texture, as far as the technical aspects go.
This painting is far reaching too. Emotionally we all have things that need healing. Sometimes a sunrise or a sunset, a cup of coffee with a friend, or a moment of silence can touch us deeper than anything else at that time. This painting combines some of those ideas: dreams I have had, horses I have ridden, prayers cried out from the depth of my soul in my most turbulent times. Always God reaches out and heals the hurt a little more.

Thanks for stopping by!

Meek and Powerful, Stallion, Abstract, Realism

"Meek and Powerful"
9 x 12 inches
Acrylic on canvas board
$575.00
unique custom frame

I like the contrast between the abstract background with the realistic stallion. A friend of mine breeds paints, This is one of her studs. Some of her horses have one or even two blue eyes.
Meekness is not the same as weakness. This stallion willingly submits his energy and power to his master. All of that is harnessed and used for remarkable feats. It is the same for living a Christian life.

Singing the Blues, Plein Air Painting

"Singing the Blues"
(Plumbagos)
8 x 10 inches
Acrylic on  hardboard


I have always felt like flowers sing their own silent song. Artists also sing silent songs. We pour out our colors and our soul for others to embrace or reject. We do not recieve the fame of singers and actors, yet we keep singing.

Enjoy!

This is a fantasy painting. I've been painting in my sleep lately and lavender seems to be the thing! This is the last painting of this series.

Lavender's Sway 3, Abstract Flowers, Daily Painting


" Lavender's Sway 3"
8 x 10 inches
Acrylic on hardboard

Sold

While zooming in, I noticed how the light made these flowers look like squiggly blobs of glorious color, so I exaggerated the effect and had a blast with all that thick paint. I added the butterflies for contrast. This is one for EBSQ Art-- August Flower of the Month contest.
