It's been a really long time. My husband passed away last year, 8 months ago. It's been hard to get motivated again when he was my biggest fan... but here I go again!
My newest.
Isaiah 40:31 AL
This 28" x 22" VERY mixed media canvas was inspired by Jackie and Shadow at the Big Bear Lake in California. I have been following them for the last two years and saw a opportunity to do this painting of them and their two little girls of 2026, Sandy and Luna. This painting is so special for a number of reasons. I am going to enter it in the Arapahoe County Fair to try to win another placed piece. I have placed 1st the last two times I have entered, and I think I have another winner here! I wanted to make this piece even more special. I made it 3D! The nest is made of gouache watercolor, Indian ink, plaster, gel matte, acrylic paint, unraveled rope, pine needles, pinecones, real feathers, dried elderberry, dried, rose petals, and dried lavender. The sky. trees, babies and eagles are purely painted in acrylic paint with very painstakingly technics. There's one more feather I put in there on the bottom left that I found on my walk that said to me... put me in the painting too! It is all sprayed with a protective fixatif that will safely let you hang it in a "hands off" level in your home without worrying about it decaying. This is a very special piece, and if it wins a reward, I will make sure to copy that award and send it with the picture.
Isaiah 40:31 says:
but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
