Dreams: Invitation
I had a dream. There were women of God holding hands in unity. They were flying. The one nearest had her hand extended out to the viewer as in an invitation. "Come fly with us!" In the near distance there were witnesses - the cloud of witnesses. I could hear them...
4D Sonogram to Canvas
I'm celebrating with my friend on the birth of her first grandchild. Her idea for this portrait is totally fantastic. (She always has the best ideas!) So we came up with this size, 6"x6"x1.5", a small gallery wrap canvas painted in sepia tones. She is planning to gift...
Clean Water
Giving to help make the world a better place is important to me. As a former missionary I ask myself how I can help. This is a wonderful opportunity. I painted these three for a Hydrating Humanity fundraiser. Above: Mama, 10x8 oil on canvas. Inheritance, 20x20 oil on...
Dreams
It's an amazing thing to dream and imagine. Shiny ideas float around and evolve. I have been thinking about painting flying people for awhile. So I finally painted them in my newest piece, Prayer Meeting. I painted it over several weeks during the worship time at my...
Singapore
Oil on canvas 30" x 40" I have painted this theme before, three daughters. These sweet girls are the daughters of Singapore. Their dad works the International Furniture Market in High Point, NC. My dear...

I Am A Child of God
A soft impressionistic painting, 'I Am A Child of God', has very little detail. It's more a feeling. Just being. I've had this photo in my box for quite a while waiting to be painted. It's part of my Jesus Movement collection. I really liked it but it was out of focus...
Movement into Painting
I started this painting in a different way - with movement. Music is going, big canvas, lots of room to move... With pencil in hand the marks were grand swirling gestures. Then I saw the faces. Abstract faces. I sketched them in and kept looking to see what would...
Make Me a Prophetic Painting
So how does that happen? A commissioned prophetic painting? Here's what I got from the client: babies, anchors and the color navy. I told this to an artist friend and she just blurted out a big laugh. HaHa! It's all in the process of problem solving and fluid artful...
Pearls Revisited
I came across this commission piece. I never met the woman who commissioned this in person. She saw my art, mostly portraits, in a coffee shop in downtown Winston Salem. She called and sent photos and I painted. I also offered a frame option, which I often do. I was...
