Lately

Early sunsets far to the Southern horizon, those two sweetest faces, the return of Winter's birds and frost, a Thankfulness Tree, piano ivories waiting to be tickled, artwork and chores, the Farmboy's abandoned coffee mug, frozen birdbath, steaming pasta pot, fifteen years' wear on the handrail, a warm fire, my instrument of choice, and a little something wintery for your desktop background.

*New* New Every Morning

Inspired by a theorem painting of a basket of flowers, a leafy border on an old sampler, and a favorite Scripture verse.

“Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3: 22-23

A good reminder to hang on my wall where I can see it daily.

What is Love?

Passion?

Emotion?

Commitment?

Sacrifice?

Intention?

Joy?

Beauty?

“There is no greater love than this: 

that a person would lay down his life for the sake of his friends.”

John 15:13 

Right on Time

"Your journey has molded you for your greater good, 

and it was exactly what it needed to be. 

Don't think that you've lost time. 

It took each and every situation you have encountered to bring you to the now. 

And now is right on time."

Just a little teaser-peek at the amazing colors going into the newest design that I'm working on...

I'm aiming for a March release, but have a long way to go, so wish my fingers great speed!
