Simple Prairie

 I have discovered that simple is calming; simple is mellow. This little piece was painted this summer to reflect the simple moments on a simple prairie day.

A Little Prairie



Two little prairie paintings with a calming more mellow feel came into being this summer. I have a love for the prairies that has grown over the years. I never tire of the huge skies and the distant view. Many times the mountains peaking over the horizon is breath-taking. The contrast of the prairies and the mountains is so picturesque!


To purchase these paintings check out my Art Gallery at the top of this blog.

Gentle Lilies

Here is another Mellower Calmer Painting. I actually was surprised how this one turned out. One of my family members loves the calm feeling this one gives so I guess I did achieve what I started out to do and that was to paint some calming more subdued peices. It is supposed to be 2 lilies but she thought it looked like 2 doves. That is the beauty of painting impressionistic with a touch of abstract, from the heart, because it can speak differently to each person. Art is truely emotion!


Shine Like the Dawn



Psalm 37:5,6
Commit your ways to the LORD,

trust in Him and He will do this:

He will make your righteousness

shine like the dawn,

the justice of your cause

like the noon day sun.


I decide to do some Mellow Calm paintings this summer. Usually, I paint in bright colors and sometimes intense themes, so, I have been painting calmer more subdued colors. At least that is the intention but there always seems to be a turn in what I intend to what really happens.

Divine Transition



As we go from Winter to Spring, in Southern Alberta, it seems like a woman in labor. I think we had at least 3 or 4 snow storms in April and finally we are seeing some green grass and budding on the trees.



It has caused me to ponder that it is like trying transition to something different in our lives. We wait and then we try things but it seems like the current situation just keeps hanging on. We wonder if things will ever change into that next phase.



We desperately need Our Heavenly Father's loving direction with His supernatural hand print and DNA deposited into our lives to take us through a "Divine Transition."

I have got to Create and create lately.


It has been fun to stretch myself in new ways.
