A Vast Vision

The Lord merely spoke, and the heavens were created.  He breathed the word, and all the stars were born. — Psalm 33:6 I turned this image  upside down, imagining the clouds from heaven’s  perspective  and I was surprised how endless it seemed without the grounding of a horizon— my angle starting above the skyline— andContinue reading “A Vast Vision”

A Lush Life

Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy! — Psalm 96:12 A smear and dab of yellow wash begins my practice — no theme, no subject, just memory of blooms and whimsy with shape and color, and I find a stillness and peace as I fill my brush with hued water, contemplating life,Continue reading “A Lush Life”

In the Winnowing Wind

As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God — Psalm 42:1 The gentle creatures, the ones who seem to arise from the brush, emerge from the trees, quietly appearing as if from air, remind us  of the constant care God gives — protection, provision, peaceful surroundings — becauseContinue reading “In the Winnowing Wind”

Another Day

His coming is as brilliant as the sunrise.  Rays of light flash from His hands, where His awesome power is hidden. — Habakkuk 3:4 The sun nestled near  the rising mountains, the great gray mountains  peach-kissed by warming  rays, just as it has been since dawn’s creation, and I count each day  I’ve lived, eachContinue reading “Another Day”
