Gethsemene

22" x 28"  oil    SOLD    I do take commissions

A friend requested a painting in memory of her mother. We researched many old world paintings and finally decided on a painting by Carl Bloch (circa 1865.)  The tenderness of this angel comforting Christ in the garden where he sweat blood, touched our hearts so much.  The original painting was much larger with a large tree and dark sky and a base.  But we preferred the close up because of its power to pull you in.  It is finished and will be placed in a church.
I am so honored and loved copying this extraordinary beautiful subject.
contact me for commissions.  I require a Pay Pal deposit and lots of conversation before we even begin .

Colorado Grackle Morning

6" x 6"  watercolor   $90.00  

Permission to paint this grackle came from my friend Jim Bensberg.  He takes great photos.  

I wasn't certain what type of bird he was until I looked up blackbirds.  His wings resemble irridescent butterfly wings and his feathers shine in a bluish glow. Soak in the sun, Mr. Grackle!

Dove For My Love

11" x 7"  watercolor  $50.00

In scripture a dove descends on Jesus during his baptism.  I have had a dove pass before me a couple of times.  Once when my mother passed away, and once when I needed reassurance.  So I wanted to dedicate this dove to my hubby.  He always take good care of me and his family, and he loves me.  Also to the children that we love so much.  They are the pride and joy of our lives.  And then to our grandchildren who carry the Kennedy legacy.  OMG we love them sooooo much!  Maybe they carry our burdens, but they also carry our faith, which is so much more important.

We could not take one breath without our Savior, the Holy Spirit!

Last Light

30" x 30"    oil   $800.00
In the last light of day, the American eagle, a symbol of freedom, ceremoniously surveys his kingdom, a desert sanctuary.  Generous golden light passionately kisses every edge, transforming the harsh landscape before putting it to bed.  Gooddnight eagle.  Goodnight desert.  Thank you God, for the symphony of color.

“Dusk is just an illusion because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are there cannot be one without the other yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel I remember wondering to be always together yet forever apart?”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

"Angel and Winter Roses"

11" x 10.5"  watercolor   $55.00

Angels spend some of their precious time bringing color to the winter landscape, by strewing roses on the crisp white snow.  Then they waft away and wait for the collectors to come and exclaim in surprise over the treasure they have found.    

"The Angel and the Dove"

10" x 12"  watercolor and ink on 140 lb watercolor paper    SOLD

They have become fast friends, gliding the colorful skies, finding ways to help those who need their help.  Sometimes the angel whispers to the dove in spiritual language that only those with wings can understand.  The dove coos softly.
