Amber Glow

Brides are always beautiful, but I especially loved the glowing light in this setting which accented Amber beautifully.

I think I'm going to have to leave the photography to Celeste from now on... the painting isn't blurred!

Little Angel



The older I get the more I see little children as angels. Divinely pure, innocent, sweet and good. They come so recently from God's presence and can't help retain some of that Heavenly influence. This is our little girl angel Claire. She's so precious to us!

This painting is done in a unique technique where I painted the image in acylics, covered the entire image with packaging tape, painted the image again, and then scratched off the acrylic paint to reveal the underpainting. It was a fun experiment, but again, I have failed to photograph it in a way that keeps it from looking warped.
