Daydreamer

Joy of Music

Grand Entrance
Oil on Canvas, 48″ x 30″ What little girl doesn’t like to make a big entrance when she’s dressed up? To show off how beautiful she is? There will come a day when I will make my grand entrance into God’s Kingdom. And I will be beautiful. Then God will give you a grand entrance […]
Look to the Light
Oil on canvas, 24″ x 24″ In the darkest time of deep depression, God is always there. He will deliver me, therefore I can look to the Light. He has redeemed my soul from going down into the pit, and my life shall look upon the light. (Job 33:28, ESV)
