An Unfailing Stream

                                                 Living Water Series #4    oil  18 x 36   $1,300.

The prophet Amos said "Let Justice flow like a river and Righteousness like an unfailing stream.  5:24  An unfailing stream has a source of water that is deep and never ending.  It flows into a river and the river flows into an ocean.  I love the metaphors of the Bible.  Truth is explained so clearly for those who seek it. Justice and Righteouness come from the Source of Living Water which is God. And He never fails!!!  Truth, Goodness and Beauty  flow from the throne in Heaven, the source of our Living Water!
 

Inspiration and Imagination

Living Water Series #3  16 x 20   oil   $750.

My husband and I hiked to the waterfall at Roaring Run a few days ago.  For these falls, I relied on photographs, inspiration and imagination in order to work on composition. I am finding that the desire to rearrange and compose is much more fun than sticking so closely to the photograph.  Letting my paint brush follow the light and shadow patterns and the flow of water is so relaxing. Going with the flow of life, knowing God will shine His light on the path gives peace beyond understanding.  

 

Pouring Out His Holy Spirit

                                                  Living Water Series #2  12 x 24    0il   $900.

After fighting with these waves, I am so glad that I chose to paint water in all its forms!  It is indeed challenging, but I always love to stretch and grow in my abilities. An online class helped and I am looking forward to exploring more images of water.  I also find much joy in praising my Savior for the Beauty of this world.  God calls Himself the "Spring of Living water"and Isaiah uses flowing water to picture God pouring out His Holy Spirit.  May God pour out His Spirit on His children as we fight the  storm tossed waves that are so prevalent in this world.

 

Invitation

Forgotten

 Updating blog, found a painting that was sold before it was posted. Must have been forgotten. So glad we do not have to feel forgotten.  God is always with us. 

All Is As It Should Be

Going Home Series #51   28 x 38   $2,200

  One last inspiration for a painting in this series....

" The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is  to go outside, somewhere they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God.  because only then does one feel that all is as it should be."  Anne Frank

Split Rock Falls

                                        Living Water Series #1         24 x 36    oil  $2,000.

I am very excited to begin a new series of water paintings.  To paint the movement of water is a challenge but what an incredible feel of refreshing coolness in the summer heat.  Can you feel the spray and hear the roar?  I want to get the senses involved in these paintings and at the same time explore the spiritual metaphors of water.
