And Light Came In On Wings of Love

20" x 20"  acrylic on canvas, framed  $200.00

Inside the temple was a huge thick veil which was torn in two from the top down at Jesus' death.  Did you know that it was a sign of the new covenant?  Does the ancient priest look confused, in awe, and blinded by the light?  He is!  Butterflies are a sign of new life and I portrayed them  bounding through the tear in the curtain, blessing everyone and opening their eyes to the wonder of Christ's love.  This was a painting for an Easter show that is a different style for me, but I had a lot of fun painting the bright and colorful scene.  It is kind of like a window of hope.  I hope you like it!

Lacy Lilacs, Daffies and Tuliips

9.5" x 8.5" watercolor on Arches 140 lb paper  $150.00

My friend, Elaine used to grow the most gorgeous flowers for our church decor. We would cut them on Sat. morning and arrange them for the altar.  When they were ready to go up, I reveled in getting my face in the petals and green leafiness for a full intake of freshness and fragrance.  That "bouquet" would last me all through the week and enhance my spirits.  Also the friendship and hard work of the gardener that went into the planning and caring for such an amazing array of plants would send my spirits soaring.  Thanks Elaine!  Then I also was given the privelge of photgraphing them.
