Time Lapse Painting-"The Call"

This is the painting I was working on at Celebration of the Arts in May!  I finished it a couple of weeks ago and compiled the photos I took as I painted it!  I hope you enjoy!

I really love mixing up imagery from different cultures and time periods.  In this piece, I have a Caucasian woman wearing traditional Japanese makeup and a kimono.  To me, this represents how the Body of Christ is made up of many different parts.  Each part is important and each part has its own destiny working together.  The sheep represent Christ as our Shepherd and the rainbow signifies the beneficial promises of God.  She holds the red phone up as if to hand it to the viewer to receive the call.  The Spirit calls each of us to a specific destiny that we were born and designed to do.  However, we must listen to the Spirit’s leading to reach His perfect will for us.

Thank you for any comments and for passing this along!  Please also check out my website for more information about this painting and others!!

Time Lapse Painting- The Saint and the Sock Monkey

I have been playing with some video software and I was able to compile the work in progress images into a time lapse video!! I am sure they will get better as I practice, but this will give you an idea! 

Thank you for your support or my work.  Please visit my website for more information and art!

Lubbock Showing

I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to show my art in Lubbock, TX!  I hung 10 pieces at the "Good Brews" cafe last week.  Thank you so much to Jill Snelson for helping me and for Nat Long for hanging the show!  I hope my work blesses the people of Lubbock!








Thank you so much for your comments and for supporting my work!

Art Show Virtual Tour

Celebration of the Arts was such a great show for me!  I was the Distinguished Artist and I sold 5 pieces!  The larger booth was such a treat and it was so fun interacting with people!  I met some art lovers, artist and future artists!
For those of you who could not make it to the show, I have included a video of my booth and a video of me signing the show poster!  Enjoy and I hope to see you at the next show!


Here is the booth!





Here I am signing a poster

I am giving away art!

This is the piece I am donating to the silent auction for Friday night's Preview Party at Celebration of the Arts! 

It's a sweet little piece I finished this year.  I found the inspiration for the folk art icon triptych in a children's book and added the peacock feather, symbolizing immortality, and the pear which symbolizes the incarnation of Christ.  I thought they were appropriate symbols since the theme for the icon is the Christ as a child.  I like the idea of the family icon as a focal point for the family's daily spiritual thoughts and prayers.
Someone's going to go home with this tomorrow night!  It is matted, framed and 16x20.

More sneak peeks!

Here is a little look into the piece I will be working on for COA this weekend!  I will be painting live as I have time at the show!

She's looking at little spooky so far.  I am going for geisha makeup again...so she will look otherworldly for awhile!

First layers of her hair.  I am planning on making her a red head,but that has changed before... ;)
