Artist Comments

Lightning Strikes painting is inspired my fascination for the weather. I love standing on my porch watching a storm roll in. I love watching lightning bolts flash across the sky. And I especially love the rainbow that appears after the storm, because it reminds me of God’s promise from long ago. See Genesis 9:12-16 (NASB) below.

12 God said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations;
13 I have set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall serve as a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.
14 It shall come about, when I make a cloud appear over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
15 and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 When the rainbow is in the cloud, then I will look at it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”

Weather is a powerful, tremendous force, and when unleashed it can be very destructive. Do I enjoy the destruction that sometimes happens from all that power? No way, no how. But because of God’s covenant promise, the storm gives me a sensation that He is nearby and watching over me. I sense His presence and I am not afraid.

“I Will Praise You In This Storm” is a contemporary Christian music song sung by Casting Crowns. If you’re unfamiliar with the song, you may listen to it by clicking the link below.

I used a free photo from Pixabay.com as a reference for this painting. Pixabay offers an online collection of copyright-free images that are available for download and use without needing attribution. Occasionally, the website inspires my artwork.

For the “Blue Shutters” piece, I chose a photo taken on the Greek island of Karpathos. I altered the composition to avoid creating an exact copy of the photograph. Compare and decide if my painting surpasses the reference photo. Click here.

Canvas Type: Traditional Stretched Canvas
Frame: Unframed
Signed: On the front 
COA: Signed Certificate of Authenticity

Artist Comments

The Study is the first painting I’ve done using a monochromatic color scheme. What this means is that I deliberately chose to restrict the number of paint colors I used when doing this painting. The sepias I chose to use in this still life give it a vintage look. This would be great wall décor for an office, study, den, or even a “man cave.”

What exactly is monochromatic?

A monochromatic color scheme is based on variations of a single hue, creating a palette through different shades, tints, and tones of that color.

“Excellent paintings. Do you commission work?” — @Spychiatrist, Gab

“Beautiful. This looks like a beautiful way to spend an evening. No computer, no mobile phones, no tv. In the age where the quill pen was used, work (and life) was generally harder, but the leisure time was better as well.” –@wheelbearings25, Gab

Artist Comments

The Sea of Galilee is a large freshwater lake located in northeast Israel, between the Golan Heights and the Galilee region. The Jordan River is its primary source of water. The lake is approximately 13 miles long and 8 miles wide.

My love of God’s word and Bible readings about Jesus inspired this painting of the famous Sea of Galilee. Israel is very important to me because it is home to God’s chosen people. I’ve never been to Israel, but it’s somewhere I’d like to visit someday. This painting was composed using a reference photo from the “Pictorial Library of Bible Lands.” The photographer, Todd Bolen, graciously permitted me to use his photographs for any of my Bible land paintings.

According to Matthew 4:13-22, this historic biblical location is where Jesus began His ministry and called His first disciples. This passage tells us Jesus left Nazareth and went to Capernaum. While walking along the Sea of Galilee, He called the first four of His disciples Simon (also called Peter), Andrew, James, and John.

Your Feedback

“I love it and looked at the site. The “Sea of Galilee at Capernaum” put me in mind of something by Turner or some of the Hudson River schools. Wonderful stuff.” — josisenberg, SciFi & Fantasy Writers, Gab

“I really like your paintings–the portrait of your husband is very unusual in composition and the backlighting–wish I could see it in real life. Another [painting] that really caught my eye especially is the Sea of Galilee at Capernaum–the light in the sky is particularly indicative of something spiritual, even if one didn’t know a thing about the religious significance of the place.” — Elena M., Columbia, MD

Artist Comments

Monument Valley in Utah, often referred to as the “Valley of the Rocks,” is recognized as one of the natural wonders of the world and is arguably the most iconic representation of the American Old West. The valley has been a preferred setting for Western films for many years. Its isolated red mesas, dramatic spires, and sandstone buttes, set against a backdrop of a vast, sandy desert, have been captured on film and in photographs numerous times throughout history.

Called Tsé Bii’ Ndzisgaii (Valley of the Rocks) by the Navajo, this famous valley lies in the southern part of Utah near the Arizona border within the Navajo Nation Reservation. When you first approach the area, these rock “monuments” will take your breath away. The eerie rock formations make you feel like you’ve been transported to another planet. It is truly one of the most majestic places on earth.

The first time I visited Monument Valley National Park, I knew right away I’d be doing a painting of this beautiful valley. Indeed, I have created multiple paintings of this location. I also have memories of several paintings I did of this place when I was a young student of art studying art under my dad, a professional oil painting artist. My dad loved painting this location too and produced several oil paintings of it himself. The whereabouts of these paintings remain uncertain after they were sold to art collectors and local businesses in the small town where we lived.

“Still Life with Clay Pottery” is a monochromatic artwork depicting common household items from a typical Iron Age (1200-586 B.C.) kitchen in Israel or Jordan. While visiting the Holy Land Photos website, I found some interesting photos of a reconstructed Israelite House on display at the Haaretz Museum in north Tel Aviv. This painting is from one of those photos.

Artist Comments

In the summer of 1999, my husband Robert and I navigated his 36-foot sailboat along the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) from Florida to Virginia. Robert, a military serviceman, was transferring from Naval Air Station Jacksonville to Naval Station Norfolk. The journey presented us with many fascinating sights along the waterway, offering ample chances to capture photographs for my future paintings. “Along The ICW,” depicting a stranded shrimp boat, was inspired by a photo I snapped on that voyage.

About The ICW

The Intracoastal Waterway is a 3,000-mile waterway network comprising inland rivers, channels, and canals along the eastern and southeastern coasts of the United States. It is split into the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. The waterway includes both man-made canals and natural water bodies like inlets, saltwater rivers, bays, and sounds.

The ICW stretches from Boston, MA, down the Atlantic Seaboard, around Florida’s southern tip, and along the Gulf Coast to Brownsville, TX. Its main function is to offer a secure and navigable route for light commercial and personal pleasure vessels, providing a safer alternative to the perils of open sea travel.

Artist Comments

I love country living! Years ago, a small caravan of covered wagons and horses with riders would make their yearly trek past our small ranch from a nearby township. Our own horses would race to the fence line to watch as others of their kind passed by, and our dogs would bark to alert us to the passing caravan. Unfortunately, today it no longer makes this journey. This “wagon train” was the inspiration behind this covered wagon painting.

Covered wagons and pioneers are some of the first things that come to mind when I think of the Old West. I love that sense of adventure and pioneering spirit that drove early settlers to pack up their family, mount a covered wagon, and move across the Great Plains to settle out West. They are indeed an icon of the American Old West.

Artist Comments

Artists will often use reference photos to compose their paintings. Sometimes they will create their composition from only one photo, and other times several photos are used. There’s nothing wrong with painting from photographs; artists do it all the time.

Still Life with Coral and Lantern combines several such reference photographs that depicted the nautical elements I wanted to portray in my artwork. One of those elements was coral. Coral can be in so many different shapes, sizes, and colors. Although, pinks and reds are the most common colors. They are tiny sea creatures that live in the ocean in large colonies that look like plants. They will live all of their adult lives in one place and prefer places where the water is warmer. When they die, their skeletons form a hard stony substance, also called coral. Large deposits of coral often accumulate to form reefs or islands.

I had never used coral in a painting before, so as I considered painting a still life with a nautical theme, I felt it would be interesting to include some coral in this one. I’m happy with how it turned out, and I especially like the nautical lantern to finish out this marine-themed still life.
