Nearer My God To Thee

Close ups

I really related to this scene. The best time of my whole day is when I go outside to my backyard at daybreak and thank the Lord for another beautiful day. Whether it's fair weather, rainy, snowy, or otherwise foul weather, it's still a beautiful day of His creation. A gift to the world.

You may recognize this lady/subject as the same one from the previous post. Well that's because it is. My trusty DVR allowed me to borrow her (Diane Keaton) from the 1981 movie, "Reds".

  3. Is this part two to a series? It goes so nice with the last painting.
    That purple really sets the emotion.

  6. I remember that "Reds" put me to sleep (it was very well received by everyone else)--but this painting is certainly uplifting..because of the colors and the positive emotions it evokes. Great work.

  10. What I really love about paintings are the stokes. It is so amazing how they apply those strokes to make it look so good. Just like this painting. It is getting better as you look closer.
