Psalm 127:3 - Children are a gift from the LORD; they are his reward. (NIV)
John 3:16; For God so loved the world, he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (NIV)

Proverbs 3: 5-6; Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not on thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and he shall direct thy paths. (KJV)

How they will hang together on the wall.

announcement canvas

These are actually a set of canvases; the yellow with polka dots (11x14) is attached to the paisley one (16 x 20) to create a 3D effect. The smaller one (8 x 10) is attached with velcro so that it can be taken off when the baby comes home from the hospital and can be placed in a small easle or on the wall.

peaceful little lambs

these precious paintings are for a baby boy's nursery; his bedding is a beautiful light blue/tan toile. The verses are Psalm 4:8, Isaiah 40:1 and Psalm 127:3. I really enjoyed this project.

Ms. Kay

Ms. Kay is my wonderful Bible study teacher. We studied the book of Philippians a few months ago, so as a thank you to her I painted a verse from Philippians 4. As I painted it and sketched out how it would look, I wrote the verse over and over (Phil. 4:8) and because of that I have this wonderful scripture memorized. God teaches me even through my own paintings, isn't that cool?

teachers' gifts







The girls' last day of preschool was on Thursday; we had been to the beach and had just gotten back on Tuesday. Between laundry and groceries and trying to get back to normal I had forgotten all about teachers' gifts. I dismissed it and thought, "well, its no big deal", but then I felt really bad. Their teachers have been wonderful this year and I needed to do something to thank them...and QUICK! So, I went home on Thursday morning and painted 3 paintings (plus three more that I had to do for an order that was due on Friday).

Mortgage free!!!

I'm so jealous. The lady I did this for was getting this done for her husband to tell him they had paid off their house! Oh the bliss! I can't even imagine since we move every 2 years or so (which means we're due for a move actually) and we re-finance every time we move. What a great thing to celebrate though! Way to go!

For baby Lily

My friend, Amanda, had a baby a few weeks ago...baby Lily...she was 5, maybe 6 weeks early! Pray for sweet Lily! Even though she was a pretty healthy size, she is still not out of the woods. I pray that she can come home soon and see her pretty Noah's ark nursery!


Colossians 3:12

I took the picture before I put the teacher's names on these. I was so eager to get them mailed out on time and I forgot to take a picture of them finished.


happy mother's day!

I did two of the next pic. They're a little bit different. I really can't do the same exact thing twice. just goes to show that every single painting is an original.





I used to love to do paintings for my mom for mother's day! I haven't done one in a while for her b/c quite frankly, she doesn't really have any more wall space...neither does my mother-in-law. Here are just a couple that I have done recently and I'm still working on a few more that I will post just as soon as I get them done...hopefully, sometimes it takes me a while to get to the "posting" part.

Baby Cassie


I should have titled this painting "The HEAD". babies have huge heads. This is my baby, so I can say that. She's almost 3 now, but I drew this out a while ago. Its from a photo taken when she was about 6 months old...if that. i can't remember. Anyway, I found the drawing today and decided since my daughters were painting I would paint too and I did. the picture in the corner is the original photo. I didn't deviate too much obviously. I'm not sure if I'm done, but I am for today anyway.

Art inspired by God's word and all of his creation
