Nearer To Thee- Landscape

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. The hostess, Jean, provided the photos.

I was really tempted to try a great looking cat (jaguar, I think), but I was still seeing spots from last week's cheetah.

This is Mount Rundle in Alberta, Canada. Gorgeous scenes like this remind me of the constant presence of our Creator. The mountains seem to be in symbolic prayer to the Heavens.

Genesis 1^:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day

This is for the weekly WDE at Wet Canvas. Dewi was the host and this portrait is from a photo of her beautiful friend, Ella.

I had to really fight my natural inclination to paint one of the animals this week.
I elected to go for what is for me a difficult subject...the human animal. In this case, the lovely Ella.

I tried to stay relatively loose and push the color. Maybe I wasn't entirely successful in that goal.
Thanks for looking. And your comments are always welcome!

Loved this flamingo. Li supplied the photo while hosting the WDE at Wet Canavs.

I actually put off starting on this one out of uncertainty of what exactly to do with it...had no idea. But after I got started it was great fun and just kinda came together.
Do you put off starting a painting for some reason?

Thanks for taking a peek.

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!
