Glory Paintings

We're covered in snow in Tulsa, Oklahoma and they closed the office again today. Instead of being bored, I've been extremely busy painting, painting, painting. Here are a few of my latest creations. I'm in love with the watercolor effect on the textured canvas, and I'm really enjoying the creative experience. Everything's so white outstide here that I'm adding a punch of color in my studio with these paintings. Fun, but I'm ready not to be so cold!

Foster Puppies

I was archiving some old photos today and ran across this photo. I had forgotten these little ones, but seeing this image brought back a flood of happy memories. The local animal shelter asked me foster these puppies until they were old enough to adopt into good homes. I fed them and bathed them and fell madly in love with them. It was hard to give them up, but I eventually found each one a good home. I interviewed each potential family until I found the perfect match for Butterbean, Cowboy and Abby.

I just wanted you to know that I don't just take photos of my grandkids!

Butterbean (He was a little butterball and the color of butterbeans. Voila...Butterbean)

Cowboy (He looked as if he was wearing chaps and he had freckles.)

Abby (The only female, but she was one scrappy little girl and kept the boys in line.)

Sweet, sweet babies. They're six years old now. Man does time fly by. It seems just like yesterday.

Good night,

Praying Girl

Show Me Your Glory New Paintings

I just finished two new abstract paintings.
Show Me Your Glory
24" x 20" canvases
Abstract Acrylic

 

The inspiration for these two paintings was the lyrics of the song "Show Me Your Glory" by Third Day.

Caught a glimpse of Your splendor

In the corner of my eye.

The most beautiful thing

I've ever seen.

And it was like a flash of lightning

Reflected off the sky

And I know

I'll never be the same.

Show me Your Glory

Send down your presence

I wanna see Your Face.

Yard Gnome

It's snowing again in Tulsa. My little ceramic cat has taken on an alternate personality. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Ready To Paint

I'm ready to paint as soon as "For Whom The Bell Tolls" is over. It's at the exciting climax. Soon, I'll be back in my studio with all of my canvases. They are calling to me.

For Whom The Bell Tolls

Watching old movie with Ingrid Bergman and Gary Cooper. Why oh why can't they make love stories like that anymore?
