GrandKids with their Gifts

I was very touched by the kids reactions to their torn paper paintings. Both boys couldn't quit looking at them, and studying them. The basketball has red cars in it because Dustin got his license this year, and he has an OLD red corvette. Kenyon loved his because all he wants to do is farm. His has a cotton stripper in it, since he loves to run one. Hunter and Karla loved theirs too.

Three Wise Men

The Wise Men
In my bible, Matthew 2: 1-2 it says:
"After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews: We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him."
May we remember the real reason we celebrate Christmas. May God Bless you and your families, and may we truly worship him this special holiday season.


This painting is watercolor but I put gesso on it first. I really enjoy painting on the texture of the gesso, and how the paint settles into the textured paper.

I'll Be Home

I'll Be Home ©

This is for all those service men and women who are away at this time,
protecting and securing freedom for us, and those in other countries.
May they be protected, safe and blessed and come home soon.
Thanks to all of them.

New Scooter

'New Scooter'©

This is the little red scooter that was on this little snow kids list.
He is taking his girl friend for a spin.
I love these scooters, and always wanted
one. I would love to have one of the old ones.
Don't know where I would ride it, but
I just think it would be such fun.
Christmas is only five days away. Wow,
time sure flies by in a hurry.
Merry Christmas everybody.

Christmas Eve Delivery

Christmas Eve Delivery

Merry Christmas everybody! The 25th is only a few days away.
I can't believe how fast time flies by.
I hope for lots of laughter, joy and good health for all
my family and friends who read my blog
May 2011 be your best year yet.
For my artist friends, I wish lots of creative works and ideas,
and for ALL of us prayers that we will remember the real reason
for Christmas...'Jesus' Birth' and what He did for us. What a wonderful GIFT.
We are truly blessed if we have Him as our Savior. If you don't, you can,
all you have to do is ask. The story of Jesus birth is in Luke 2.
and John 3:16 says it all.

Southwest Christmas Cards

'The Cook'

I did 4 Southwest card paintings. This southwest snow 'woman' is
baking Christmas goodies. It is getting time to be thinking about what
we will be cooking for the holidays. All the family favorites. In our
family, it is Ken baking the bread. I cook everything else. Our kids like
peanut patties. When our moms were alive, it was Nanny's T cakes,
and peanut brittle, and for my Mother, it was her Mexican Cookies. yum.
Wish I knew how to make them. Christmas is such a special time for making
memories, as well as family time together.
