Gardenia (11 x 14) Oil on canvas.
My wife and I celebrate 30 years of marriage. This painting of gardenias is based on her bouquet.

Bottel and Curve 11 x 14 (inches) oil on masonite.

Here is painting based on a photogrpah I took many years ago [I like the painting much more than the photo].

Cross 05 11x14 (inches) oil on cotton canvas mounted to laminate wood.

Like before, this is my interpretation-study-copy of a Georgia O’Keeffe painting “Gray Cross with Blue”. It is another powerful painting of an imposing cross.

This is my last post for a while. I am going on a fast for several weeks; a fast from electronic entertainment. This includes games, TV, movies, music, and [unfortunately] blog sites … even mine. The good news is I will be praying more and seeking God’s will in my life. Please pray for me that God’s uses this time to better mold and shape me into the Christian He wants me to be. Thanks.

Cross 06 11x14 (inches) oil on cotton canvas mounted to laminate wood.

This is my interpretation (study-copy) of a Georgia O’Keeffe painting “Black Cross, New Mexico”. I love the dramatic imposing image of the cross that covers the background. It is a powerful painting.

Aspens and Snow 16 x 20 (inches) oil on linen canvas

I like the watercolor one I did, so I did a large one in oil.

Hidden Gifts

Beach and Grass, 4 x 5 (inches) watercolor on 300 lb cotton cold-press paper

This is one my lovely wife painting during our summer (2008) family vacation to Florida. She rarely paints, but does very well when she brings out the paints – even though she believes she lacks talent. She does not know I am posting this, so I better act fast before I am discovered.

It is amazing the gifts God gives us that are hidden behind the scenes in our life – lying unnoticed and ready for use. These gifts surface at times to be used to create beautiful works that enrich the lives of others. Like this painting waiting to be enjoyed by others.

Use your gifts.
