I love painting children, There is nothing like their innocence and joy. As the song says:
Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red, brown, yellow
Black and white
They are precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children
Of the world
In my Father’s Hands
Oil on canvas, 36″ x 24″ A child should always feel safe and secure in their father’s hands. In this day of Covid-19, I chose to show her father in his scrubs. Even without seeing his face, you can see his love and how protective he is of his little girl. In turn, her childlike […]
Quarantine
Oil on canvas, 36″ x 24″ In this time of separation and quarantine, it is easy to feel alone. To feel forgotten. But there is One who will never forget me. One who will never leave me. “Turn to me and be gracious to me. For I am lonely and afflicted.” (Psalm 25:16 NASB)
Joy of Music
Oil on Canvas, 18″ x 18″ Music is an expression of my heart more than anything else. Music can transform my sadness to joy. The beauty of music can transport me into God’s presence. Let us enter His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him in song. (Psalm 95:2, BSB)
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 […]
Sweet Innocence
Oil on Canvas, 18″ x 18″ Little children can be so sweet and innocent. Then they grow up and lose that sweetness and innocence. Yet, Jesus tells us that we must become like a child. Obviously, my body will never be that of a child but it is possible to have that childlike wonder. To […]
Story Time
Oil on canvas, 16″ x 20″ Children love to be told a story. What better stories than those from God’s word? Tell it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation. (Joel 1:3, NET)
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 […]
