Caribou and the Wrangles

So here it is...

My first Caribou painting with the Wrangle mountains in the background.

 

 

44.5 hours of work on this 16"x20" oil painting.

 

I thought it was a good painting to end with (for the year).

 

On another note -

I'm just loving the weather Alaska has been having!!

God's awesome power is so evident in His creation that surrounds us - I look up at the blue sky that says, "Trust me" and I can't tear my eyes off of the majestic mountains and all their breathtaking fearsome beauty. Observing the birds of the air and the beasts of the field brings such wonder and joy to my heart. How can one ever doubt His love when observing these things? But we do. All the time. Everywhere are surrounded with reminders of His love and faithfulness - we just need to know how to see them.

 

God bless,

Dear readers,

I realize its been a while since my last post...for that I am sorry. I've been busy in my studio, painting and fulfilling commissions, and I'm sorry I haven't been more diligent in keeping you all updated. It just hasn't been one of my priorities.
I also recently got engaged to the most wonderful man in the world. That may help to explain my absence...



Yup.

I love him.

Anyway...



Meanwhile I've been painting and sketching (when I'm not working) . Finished two commissions and I'm currently working on a third [WAS working on a third. Its finished now and will be a later post].

Painted this dog portrait for someone. It was a fun project.

 

 

 

 

 

Pencil sketch portrait of a father and his son.

 

 

 

And this is what I'm painting now [FINISHED will show in later post].

 

It will probably be my last painting this year as starting this summer I'll be working full-time and wont have the time to paint. Then I'm getting married! I will still try to paint. If its just to release the artist in me, I will always try to fit it in somewhere.



God bless,
