Rising Son

It's a New Day; the Sun is Rising. You cannot see the sun in this painting but you can see its effects and feel its warmth.   Our world changes every 24 hour cycle - the colors, the temperature, the humidity, the shadows.  Our world has changed in the last 30 days enormously but Our God is the same yesterday, today and forever.  Oh, for a 1,000 tongues to sing My Great Redeemers Praise!

"You shall be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots into the stream.  It does not fear when the heat comes.  It's leaves are always green.  There are no worries in the drought. " Jeremiah 17:8  I love being planted by the stream of Living Water!!!   Where are you planted?

The Song of the Trees

"The trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth."  1 Chronicles 16:33.  Can you hear it?  Look at the painting and in the quiet of the  breeze and the sunlight you can hear the song of the trees!  In Luke 19, Jesus said that if we do not praise the Lord, the rocks and the trees will!  Go to the mountains and listen to the choir below singing for joy; it is amazing worship!

His Peace is the Answer

Measureless Mountain Days

"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.   On a cold rainy day in February, it is comforting to look back on the glorious, warm sunshine and color of Fall and to look forward to the breezy pink blossoms of Spring.  Anxious to get outside to paint!!!!

Good Tidings

                                               Parkway Series # 484   12 x 16  oil     SOLD

"Climb the mountains and feel their good tidings"  John Muir.   "The hills are alive with the sound of music" Julie Andrews.  "I lift up my eyes to the mountains -  where does my help come from?  My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth."  King David.  (Ps 121)
         The ancient mountains of the Blue Ridge are to me a symbol of stability, and strength and a witness to the hand of God in the affairs of men. I so agree with John Muir...when I need good tidings go to the mountains!!

Come and Sit a While with Me

                                             Parkway Series # 483   12 x 16   oil    SOLD

"The sun shines not on us but in us.  The rivers flow not past us but through us,  thrilling, tingling, vibrating every fiber and cell of the substance of our souls, making them sing"  John Muir.  Was it John Denver that sang the song with the words.... "come and sit a while with me"?   I love to sit in the open air and think about what makes us sing, what effects the world of nature has on us, what peace we find in contemplation, how sunshine makes us happy.  Ultimately, it is our Creator God who is in us, who rejoices in our love of His Creation, who flows through us as Living Water that makes us sing and know all is right with the world.
