My newest Painting

Three different shots of the same painting. I was asked to paint something that depicted the creation for a church lesson. This is one of the ideas that I had. Birth is the miracle that I think of the most. This is of Wyatt when he was a baby. It was such a peaceful shot that I thought it would work for the lesson.

I have another idea for it also, from Curtis, that I am going to try. If it works out, I will post it, too.

Daren's Quilt

(Sorry- the photo was from my phone.. it wouldn't post larger)

I went to see my brother, Daren, yesterday. He is a strong, brave man. He is facing the cancer and living with the prospects. It is so hard to see him being brought down by the chemo, yet he is looking forward to when he will feel good enough to do things again. He has been a great influence on so many people, and he has the support of many friends and family members. I made him a quilt to wrap up in when he is having bad days from the meds. He was freezing that day, so the timing was good! I tried to pick some colors that would cheer him up and the pattern on the big blocks are animals... things that he has always loved! He is an inspiration to me. He knows what is coming, after watching our sister struggle with the same type of cancer, yet he is hopeful that the trials he is on will find a way to help him and the other people who are living with it also. We miss him coming and hunting with us and spending time visiting. He and his wife are in for a time when things are going to be harder. I hope I can help in some way to make it a little easier on them. With his strength and determination- Anything is possible! I will pray for him everyday and hope that he can handle what ever happens.
