 Part 2 - PEACE series. 

Preparing for the Downtown Lufkin Art Walk on January 28 Part 2 

The process has begun! I settled on the size, medium and theme. Now I need to explore what PEACE really means to me before putting paint on wood. 

The dictionary has plenty to say!
1. a state of tranquility or quiet 
2. a state of security or order within 
3. freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions
4. harmony in personal relations
5. to ask for silence or calm

After digging deep, I settled on 6 words that mean PEACE to me.

CONFIDENCE 
HOPE
SERENITY
CONSTANT 
PASSION
HARMONY

I would love to hear what PEACE  means to you. 
More updates as I complete the PEACE SERIES. 

Thank you for reading. : )

It might be here in this land of green.  Those are the prettiest colors I’ve ever seen. But look over there, a woven tapestry, so delicate and soft.  But I still don’t fit in, I feel so lost. I see a river of blue and green, dividing the land, our amazing earth.  For what ever it’s worth I looked and looked. I must go on and find my way.  Please let it happen on this day. I see it, all bright and warm. I even see a similar form. There can be no argument or dispute, I see pink and yellow and feathers to boot I’ve seen so many wonderful things,  I can’t tell how happy and wh...

Creating a Modern Illlumination

 I  was challenged to cr eate a piece to hang in the sanctuary  illuminating Jam es 5:15.   I made a few practice samples to see  if my idea would work. Excited about the solution, I began with a full size sketch, then drew it onto fabric and began slow free motion  stitching over my drawing.  Three layers, fabric and batting, gave a  wonderful dimensional look.  Then I started the painting, slowly and  carefully.  When completed, I backed it in silk. I am thrilled the  combination of stitching and painting worked out as I had hoped!
