Happy Easter!

Up from the grave he arose;
with a mighty triumph o'er his foes;
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
and He lives forever, with His saints to reign
He arose! He arose!  Hallelujah!
Christ arose.

Earning her wings.

The Bluest Eye

Happy New Year Everybody.  I want you all to know that I appreciate all of the support  and comments that I have received from you all during the blogging journey.  Thank you.
A clean slate.  Thank you.

2013  who would have thought it?  Another chance
to do it right.

This painting was done while thinking about one of my favorite books by Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye.  This
little girl thought her life would be so much better, if only
she had blue eyes.

Joy Bird

Feeling the need to send the bird out to help

spread some joy around the world.  Praying

for the broken hearted............

Healing Hand

These ladies were drawn on a scrap  piece of muslin with Derwent watercolor pencils.  I added flowers and encaustic wax to the final painting.  Grateful for healing thoughts and hands.

MORNING HAS BROKEN

August 2012, the birds will soon be packing
their bags for their journey...........getting ready
for the flight.

This is a wax painting, I did not
purposely sit down to paint the blue bird.
He showed up in the wax, so I outlined his
body and let him stay.

9/22/2012--Our choir is learning the following song, and I realized while singing it  that it fits my bird that showed up in my painting.  It's written by Eleanor Farjeon.

 Miss Geraldine this song is for you.

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the word.

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass.

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning,
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day.

New Encaustic Art

 There is a breathing.......
