Happy 238th Birthday!

Acrylic on hardboard.

This painting is a repost from 2009. Still appropriate for today.

The principle of our republic is based on God given rights! Understand, that if America loses God...we lose those rights.

I have always held patriotism for the United States of America strongly in my heart-but now, more and more,  am afraid for my country because it feels like hope is being dashed by all these huge rapid fire changes." This is only my honest opinion, so if I rile anyone , I apologize.

I am also of the opinion that there is a much higher power than Washington,DC. He is watching over us all.
And through Him, we will pull through fine.
I am proud of the the USA. Look at any country (or person) closely enough and you will see faults. But there's an overwhelming amount to be proud of...not ashamed of.
Happy birthday America!!!! Know that you are still loved!

God bless the USA!

2 Chronicles 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Please take a minute and listen to this song.

Your friend and mine, Sherry, from conservativelybohemian, requested I do a painting for a Vietnam vet co-worker, Jack. She wanted me to add the helmet on the rifle. I believe it was a really fine touch. He's getting this for Christmas.
Thank you,Jack, for your service. God bless all those in service to this country.
This one's heading your way, Sherry!

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Jean was the gracious hostess. Thanks for the great reference photo.

This grazer just seemed really peaceful nibbling away in the sunshine.
I had fun laying it on thick in selected spots and pushing the color.

Veterans Day 2011

Some of you folks probably remember this painting from the past.
I always feel 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.

This painting of a praying soldier was done with love and in support of our troops. God bless them.

I've been slow on posting because my puter went kaput. Had to have the hard drive replaced. No back up...Wahh...wahhh. Ah but now the computer is running better than ever.

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!

This is a redo/copy of one that I painted and posted on April 12, '09.
My artist friend, Sheila, reminded me of it in a recent comment...thanks Sheila. I went back and looked it up. It was posted for last Easter.
There are some minor changes in this redo. I think I'll even go so far as to repost the commentary of 4/12/09. Happy Easter to all my dear friends.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I post this in the spirit of Christianity on this day of days.
Please use it as a gentle reminder to look beyond the decorated eggs...marshmallow peeps...and the chocolate bunnies. All of which are fun and a special delight to our children and the child within us.

But the true meaning of this day is the suffering which was willingly endured so that we could all be forgiven. Through His sacrifice and resurrection we are guaranteed eternal life. This perfect life which He promised appeals to the child within us...because we are indeed His children.

Also, please don't forget to pray for all those who are in the service of protecting us and for those who have given the supreme sacrifice.

Acrylic on hardboard. I intentionally left this in this stage of development. I could have smoothed, blended, etc.-But this was at the right place to convey the intense emotion I feel about our great nation on this 2009 Independence Day.

I have always held patriotism for the United States of America strongly in my heart-but for the first time in my adult life I am afraid for my country because it feels like hope is being dashed by all these huge rapid fire changes." This is only my honest opinion, so if I rile anyone , I apologize.

I am also of the opinion that there is a much higher power than Washington,DC. He is watching over us all.
Anyhow, happy birthday, America! God bless the USA!
