It's more fun to paint things as I wish they were than as they are. Why not, ya know?

Vision is the art of seeing the invisible.

Fly Me To The Moon
28 x 20 inches
acrylic on wood
sealed and ready to hang

Growing up on the farm in Pennsylvania, there were always huge flocks of Canadian geese in our pastures at this time of year. It was always amazing to watch them fly in a "V".

The glow of one warm thought is to me worth more than money.

Sun, Moon, and Stars in the Round
20 inches in diameter
acrylic on wood
Sealed and ready to hang
SOLD

I love the personification of the sun and moon. It gives new meaning to the sky, doesn't it?

If the Sun and Moon should ever doubt, they'd immediately go out.

Sun, Moon, Star Triptych
each piece is 4.5 x 4.5 inches
total height is 14.5 inches
acrylic on wood
clear gloss coating for protection
edges painted, no need for a frame
SOLD

This piece was inspired by a picture frame I bought at a yard sale. The woman that sold it to me must have had 20 things for sale with the sun, moon, stars theme. For some reason, it reminds me of the trinity. My brother-in-law used to call the trinity "Big Daddy, Little Brother, and the Spook." Nowadays, I try not to leave the feminine side out, since I was created in God's image, too. Hence, the moon's a woman.

mixed media on canvas
edges painted, no need for a frame
SOLD

This is another in my tree series. This one has wonderful texture and is done with silver, gold, and copper metallic paints. It's hanging at Pop's Glass in Conway. Sometimes we all need a reminder to make love a priority in our lives, and to reach for it. "Shower the people you love with love" today.

Reaching
18 x 24 inches
acrylic on canvas
SOLD

Have you ever stood outside, still as can be, in the wind? The feel of it on your skin is rejuvinating, isn't it? I've always thought that wind was the breath of God, wrapping you in a shimmering embrace, whispering, "you are loved." You cannot see the wind, but you can feel its effects. Jesus said, "The wind blows wherever it will." (John 3:8) This painting is hanging at Pop's Glass in Conway.
