Loved doing this. Acrylic on canvasboard, Happy Santa

Another 8x10 acrylic on canvasboard called, Jolly Santa

Top of the mornin to each of you!!!

While at the Potter's House Retreat last month I was introduced to several  awesome arthurs one being Jan Johnson..I  received two (used) books from Amazon yesterday,  and am finding  she's really easy to read.   Those two books are, Living a Purposefull Life and Enjoying the presence of God.   I have to admit I was never much of a reader growing up, however I'm finding how important it is reading not only factual books, but those written by people all over the world who've been touched by God, and how their personal relationship with HIM have grown.  Would each of you who visit my blog share with me some of the books you've enjoyed and that's been a real inspiration in your life? 

Another little Whimsical painting for Etsy

Don't you just love little winter scenes???   I have more to create hope you all like them!!!

I have been thinking about Thanksgiving and what I am so thankful for.....

My relationship with God

My hubby

My children and grandchildren

My siblings each one unique and such a blessing!

Those I've met along life's highway and at Church!

My disability for it's brought me closer to my Abba Father

All the beauty our Heavenly Father has brought to our eyes...the smells and feel too!

Those we come into contact with that touch our hearts.

Even those who rub us the wrong way for it gives us the chance to love them just as they are,

and to share with them what God has done in our lives.

I'm so very happy for all those things are far more...

My bros

Our mom who's soon to be 93!!!

Blessed to have a roof over our head and a warm bed to sleep in even tho

we struggle to provide food.  God sure has provided so much!

I invite you to share all the things you are so thankful for too!!!

Blessings as we come closer to Giving Thanks for them all!!!

6x6 canvasboard paintings for Christmas

Just wanted you to see a couple of the 6x6 canvasboard paintings I did today....they are little snowpeople and ready for framing as a gift for Christmas..

First Saturday drive in Nov. 2010

I tried to post some photos from our Saturday drive, but for some reason I wasn't able to (again!) Frustrating, but hey I'll try again today..hehehe
We were blessed to see an awesome sunrise and captured some really awesome photos..hope I can share with ya!!! May your week begin with quiet time with God...just breath, open your heart for HIS guidance...and enjoy...

I think I finally got them finished..

I first started with a mustard mixture, then after drying I added turquoise to just the outside perimeter...then added a burgandy with mustard mixture. Finished up with with a burgandy wipe! I like it and know it will look great when I finish the wall about the paneling. I intend to use drywall compound using a wide puddy knife to give it texture. What'cha think??
I really do appreciate your comments.




Here are some journal pages I've been working on this week...Have a great weekend!!!
