Come Alive!

Blue Ridge Parkway Series #477  12 x 16   oil   Sold

  "Oh these  vast, calm, measureless  mountain days, days in whose light everthing seems equally divine, opening a thousand windows to show us God"  John Muir.   The light glows in blues, pinks, purples and greens as the  mountains come alive in the Spring.  That same Light brings life to the soul who searches for and comes alive to the Truth of Creation.

A Quiet Place

Rakes Mill Pond near the 180 mile post is a quiet spot to enjoy when traveling the Parkway.  Beauty and rest and peace seem to me to go together.  " Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, a quiet place to digest the peace where nature may heal and give strength to the body." 

Conversation of the Ages

Blue Ridge Parkway Series #475   24 x 36   Sold

"The mountains are calling and I must go." John Muir was drawn into the conversation of the ages with God through nature.  Nature in and of itself is nothing without the voice of the God of Creation.  But with God,  it is magnificient, majestic, glorious.  It restores my soul;  the trees clap their hands in Praise to the Maker;  the mountains bow before His Power and Authority;  the wind ushers in His Spirit and the conversation begins with our Best Friend.

Out for a Walk

"I only went for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in."  John Muir  was a 19th c. advocate for preservation of the wilderness in the U.S.  He was also a Christian who really understood the spiritual nature of Creation and how it relates to the character of God.  As I walk the trails of the Parkway, I also, observe the God of all Creation illuminating my path with Truth, Goodness and Beauty.

Mountain Beauty

                                              Parkway Series #472   12 x 16   oil    SOLD

"The clearest way into the universe is through two pine trees."  John Muir's quotes stir my heart.  They express truth to me in an inspirational way that makes me want to smell the grass and feel the wind on my face.  I pray that God would put this desire to experience nature and beauty in the hearts of many today....to get away from technology, gas fumes, clocks and schedules and go up on the mountains and worship.
