 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. : )

Stations of the Cross

I begin my mornings outside, first just looking and observing what is going on around me, which birds could I hear, what new buds were breaking through,which way was the breeze flowing from. Then sitting in a special place in my garden, I say a prayer of thankfulness. With that, I go to my studio and begin the process.. painting the Stations of the Cross. This past February 12th, a friend told me about a church in Webster, Texas (where a lot of the astronauts attend) announced a “call to artist”. On Good Friday they will have a virtual exhibit featuring artists work that represents The Stations of the Cross. To provide a version of this devotion more closely aligned with the biblical accounts, Pope John Paul II introduced a new form of devotion, called the Scriptural Way of the Cross, on Good Friday 1991 that is more closely aligned with the biblical accounts. This is the version I chose to paint. One painting wasn’t enough for me. I was driven to complete all fourteen and hopefully in...

Texas Quilt Museum

  This quilt is "Who Am I?" (50.5" x 39") by Jeanelle McCall. From the exhibit "Seeing in Color" - on display now! At the Texas Quilt Museum in La Grange, Texas Her poem: WHO AM I? Many curious tales are told of how he tried.  Some say he looked far and wide.  “Who am I? Where do I belong?  If I could only find a place to fit in. I want to belong, perhaps a colorful vision. 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...
