    Spring of Hope

    Today was much better! It was a beautifully gorgeous sunny and warm spring day. I was right, my next blog post isn’t a dreary “Losing Hope” theme like yesterday’s. I worked at packing for the unwanted move, while opening my mind more to the idea that this will end up…

    Letting Go – Again

    I’ve used this same painting for a very similar blog post called “Letting Go”. In that post I said these wise words “We may not have control over time, and future events, but we always have a spiritual choice about how we respond to change.” Ha! I better take my…

    Irish Angel Revisited

    Continuing with the ongoing project to upload my painting videos to YouTube, today’s upload needed more work. The raw footage is from my old camcorder and I’m blocking the canvas in a lot of it (tripod wasn’t positioned very well). So, the solution was to edit those parts out, which…

    Guardian Angel

    I uploaded this painting video to YouTube today and since the music triggered a copyright claim I changed it. This new version seems to suit the art better so it was worth the extra work. I also had the opportunity to add a description which prompted me to think more…

    Update

    First, the above oil painting is one that I’ve shared with you several times before. I’m happy to report that this one was already on YouTube and the music had no copyright issues, so all I needed to do is add the subscribe and video links at the end. I…

    Angels Mourn

    The story of this angel is one of mourning, looking over the mass graves of children tragically killed long ago. This painting was inspired by a statue called “Turning Angel”. I am thinking today that some of you may be feeling the need for such an angel to mourn for…

    New Painting, Nativity Scene

    This is the short time lapse version of one of the featured paintings in Christmas Show 2021 (UPDATE! See my 2024 Nativity painting with angels and sheep). This nativity scene is larger than the one I’ve done in the past, as this one includes more than the central figures of…

    Season of Advent

    I have quite a lot on my heart about Advent, but this will have to keep until tomorrow. I need to wash some paint brushes as I’m running out of time to get my special Christmas paintings done on time and I’ve made a mess of my supplies. When my…

    Are you Safe?

    See oil painting “Guardian Angel” come to life in 2 minutes (time lapse) I last shared this painting here with you in August, in a post called “Protected and Loved“. Today I’m thinking of the concept of safety, and what it means to be “safe”. Who decides what is safe…

    Sunday Rest

    Watch this Irish Angel oil painting come to life in about 2 minutes (time lapse) I thought this older painting would be a good one to re-share for this Sunday. It’s a shame that I painted my Irish Angel art before I got a better camera (that’s why the footage…
