I recently finished painting a resin dog for the town of Lancaster, SC! It was fun to do but not without challenges. “Rosey” was heavy and bulky and the acrylics were balky..so to speak! They required several finessed coats on the slick surface. As the deadline approached, so went the dedication.. the hours..and the angst!…
I am grateful and honored to have two of my paintings hanging in a juried show in Raleigh, NC for the next several weeks! The title for one of them, “Regally Clothed”, refers to Matthew 6: 25-34, where Jesus says,” See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet…
” La Vie en Rose! ” It is the French way of saying one is seeing the world through rose colored glasses! This phenomenon could best be described as a sort of selective attention to or observation of things beautiful, to the exclusion of things ugly or dreary. My cat does this! When Punkin puts on…

As I contemplate the news … fires, war, the outbreak of Cholera, political discord, racial hatred, poverty, human trafficking, all kinds of abuse… I just want to fall on my knees! Last week I wrote in my journal, “You are my rock and my fortress! “… and proceeded to have this confirmed as I…
My cat, Punkin, has been faithful to me for 19 years! He dreams of helping me in my studio and actually does…with his very presence! Although he is on insulin and blood pressure medicine; and, his health is obviously failing, his purrs are still going strong! I was reading my bible this morning and thinking…
Welcome to my new forum, a window to my art and world! I will be contributing periodically; and, I plan to make the read fun and meaningful. Why “Painting, Prayer, and Purrs” you say? Painting….right!! Prayer….because, it is my lifeline….hasn’t always been so, but more about that later! Purrs….because Punkin and Posey would never forgive…
