I really do love Coca Cola, though I don't drink it that often. My daughter, Dixie, surprised me yesterday by telling me that she was giving up soda for Lent. She's an interesting 16 year old.... :)

I'll be painting on lots of windows and cabinet doors , since I've got 'em. Last night, I dreamed about a couple paintings. They were actually good ideas given to me in the dream, so I'm going to use them! Look for interesting stuff to come soon! May you be joyful today.

I had so much fun painting this piece. I sometimes dream that I'm flying, so I thought I would do an homage to Chagall. I've always loved his work. He was a folk artist before they called it folk art!

If you like this window, go see Maureen at Dogwood Hill Flower Farm. They have wonderful plants and flowers.

Yesterday, hubby and I were talking about the joy of knowing Christ. Love does indeed bring joy. It is said well here by Jesus:

"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete."
~John 15:9-12

acrylic paint on recycled window

SOLD

When I was a kid, I had a rainbow painted on my bedroom wall. Perhaps for that reason, I feel such a connection to this painting, and will be exploring this theme more in my work.

I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.
