This one was painted one evening with all the leftover paint on my palette. I try not to waste, and it usually turns out right that way....

Colorful Dragonflies

acrlyic on wood

sealed and ready to hang

SOLD

There are so many dragonflies around my barn this summer. They come and sit on the edge of my workshop bench while I'm prepping wood. They don't even startle when I walk by anymore. I guess you could say they are tame. It is amazing. It makes me feel a teensy bit like St. Francis. And since I believe that the Lord can choose to speak to us through animals, I Googled dragonflies. They mean wisdom, vision, and change.

It reminds me of the time that my friend Janice and I rented horses in the Tennesee mountains. When trail ride was over, Janice remarked about the yellow butterflies that were following my horse, Anne, and me throughout the whole trail ride. I had noticed, but I didn't think anyone else had. It was a magical day.

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.

Green Earth

SOLD

I am of the philosophy that the Earth is alive, and we must care for its health. I want future generations to be able to enjoy dangling their feet in rivers, walking in forests, and all the other cool stuff this beautiful planet makes possible for us. I do my part - I buy green, and I'm a recycling maniac!

Do or do not, there is no try.
~Yoda

Pseudo Family Portrait

SOLD

This was a commission for a beautiful homeschooling family from NC. I don't do portraits (we have cameras for that). This is as close as I get to that. It shows, hopefully, the spirit of a family. Did you notice that if you look at the family from left to right, it looks similar to a heartbeat on an EKG? The heartbeat of life is the family....

If a man would move the world, he must first move himself.

This was a commission done for a friend's Carolina Room.

Their music still sounds good to me. Why is it that some music is timeless, and some is only for the time? I have to admit, Paul has always been my favorite.

The possible's slow fuse is lit, by the Imagination.

Gratitude and attitude are the keys to happiness.

"Get Real"

acrylic on recycled window

SOLD

This is the Bird family of Richmond, Virginia. The woman in the pink shirt in the center is starting a non-profit shelter. Her daughter, the woman in the black shirt and white pants, bought this window for her as a business warming gift. It is wonderful to know that this window will go on to do good works where it hangs. God is good!

There is a constant flow of computer parts through my home because of my husband's business, so I thought I'd make use of the keyboards. Such fun!

Joe and I went to see the movie "Marley and Me" and it brought back lots of memories of Bear. The love shared between people and dogs is special.

The heart that loves is always young.
