Father, Forgive Them

Oil on 5x7 gessoed hardboard.

I still feel a bit down with my back/COPD. I had a painting underway for today, but couldn't complete it on time. So, here's one I originally posted in 2009.

I started this painting without much pre planning. Each element was added as a separate, last minute, after-thought ...the light halo glow...the crown of thorns...the stream of blood... the cross against the foreboding sky.

Almost as if it painted itself, as they say. Psssst... Between you and me, I believe that sometimes He takes a hand in it. He paints it...I just hold the brush. I call it PUI..."painting under the influence".

I wish you all a happy and blessed Easter. Please remember the true meaning. Keep love and hope alive in your hearts.....The best is yet to come.

This is a painting of a crop from last year's Easter painting. I also reprinted the original commentary. It all fit together so well.

This is my contribution to The Easter Challenge at DPW posted by Carol Marine .

Carol said: With Easter right around the corner, this week's challenge is to paint it in any form you wish. Feel free to paint your own eggs/candy/bunnies/whatever moves you! As usual, have fun!

Some of you folks probably remember this painting from the past. I added a few choice strokes of color and developed it a little more for this post.
I just felt an overwhelming need to pay tribute to all those in service to this wonderful country. Honoring patriotism and God needs to take a high priority in these very trying times.

Dolly by Angela Elledge

A very talented artist, Angela Elledge, painted this in my moleskin for the Flying Moleskin project!!
It's a memorial tribute to my little unconditional friend, Dolly, who I had to part with on Feb. 25th of this year. She was my faithful companion for seventeen great years.

My photo of Dolly was downright blurry so Angela painted from a photo of a different toy poodle of similar color. I can sure see my girl's bright eyes and smile in this painting! What a beautiful job!

This was tremendously thoughtful of you, Angela! Can't wait to have the book in my hands! Thank You!
