Everlasting Love

"Everlasting Love"

Watercolor Collage

Framed and matted to 19" x 23"

I really debated about posting this one for Valentine's Day because of the dripping red paint symbolic of blood, but it really is about love, a love so great that it surpasses all of our understanding.

A Father's love that provides a refuge, a shelter, a friendship, that gives life, that is sacrificial, pure, patient, merciful, compassionate and forgiving. A love that provides a complete covering through the blood of a lamb by way of God's doorpost, the Cross of Jesus Christ.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Have a blessed weekend!!

This is another one of those paintings that has many layers and layers. The layers are mostly transparent and made up of various materials. It was mostly done with watercolors, but then at one point it just wasn't working so I gessoed over an area and worked with some acrylics, and lastly oil pastels were used. This is one of those pieces in which I am reminded in how all things can come together and work in creating something beautiful. Like the way God can take all things, no matter what they might be, and use them to bring goodness. Lily has been matted and framed with an off white matt and frame.

Matted and framed to 19" x 23"

This is another one of those pieces I did during an earlier period when I was first starting to play around with the watercolors. It began with a watercolor landscape painting in which I had became frustrated with and tore into these many pieces. Yes, I really hate to admit I did that! Anyway, after having torn this painting I began to put it back together. Imagine that! I kinda liked the look so just continued to play with arranging and gluing the pieces down. I love the colors in this one!
