Out of the Darkness
Oil on Canvas, 36″ x 18″ 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)
Daydreaming
Oil on Canvas, 40″ x 30″ It is so easy to daydream & think about things that aren’t really, well, real. To daydream about what might have been or what might be. The reality of what God has in store for me is so much better than anything I could imagine. These are a shadow […]
Kenzie
Oil painting, 12″ x 12″ This was probably the hardest commission I have ever done. The baby became ill shortly after birth and was less than a month old when she passed from this life to the next. I can’t imagine the pain and suffering the mother felt. I hope there is some comfort knowing […]

Innocence Asleep
Oil on canvas, 18″ x 36″ A child asleep looks so innocent. So peaceful. I can go to sleep knowing God will keep me safe and secure, just like a little child. I will lie down and sleep peacefully, for you, LORD, make me safe and secure. (Psalm 4:8, NET)
Naptime
Oil on canvas, 40″ x 30″ Children are able to fall asleep in the strangest places and it doesn’t seem to matter what is going on in their world. I find that when I am trusting God and not worrying, my sleep is sweet. When you lie down, you will not be afraid; When you […]
Big Brother’s Jacket
Through accepting Christ as my Savior, I have been clothed in His righteousness. Sometime it seems ill-fitting and too big for me to wear las if I’m wearing a big brother’s jacket. But I know that as long as I continue to grow, the jacket will fit better and better. I delight greatly in the […]
