My art is in a Gallery!

My artwork is now being shown at Howden Art & Framing in Oregon City. This is a very nice, bright and airy gallery full of wonderful stuff! The framing service is top notch with lots of frames to chose from, and the prices are reasonable. I am very excited to see what the future holds as my relationship with this gallery develops. The current show "Give me Shelter", runs through April. I have two paintings in the show, including the one above.

Lightbulb Moment

A few years ago I met a woman who is a missionary in Africa, in a dangerous place and a hard living. Her "very important job" made me feel like my "light and fluffy job "didn't really make a difference in the world and I felt rather like I was not much use to God and His will. It took some time, prayer and study to realize that my gift was given to me precisely to fulfill God's purpose for me. He made me the way I am, an artist wholeheartedly inspired by the beauty of His creation, so that I would be equipped to do what I do. What is that and how does it relate to the Great Commission? I paint pictures of His creation, which is His first revelation to us of His existence.
