A Southern Home

My friends have the quintessential Southern home, both in style and hospitality! They won a house portrait from me at a silent auction to raise money for other dear friends living for Jesus in the mountains of Guatemala. I was so glad to draw this home with it's beautiful columns and amazing, big-hearted occupants!!!

I was given my own choice of a Louisiana themed painting for an auction to support the families of men and women on deployment.

I love a Landscape!

Christmas is around the corner!

Please let me know soon if custom art is on a loved one's wishlist!

Louisiana Lovin'

One of the thing I love about doing commission work is that it pushes me to try things I've never done before.  I can also see the fruit of working at Painting With A Twist for 4 years in that I'm not afraid to try and I trust my skill.  Again, I can see my Lord's hand in this!!!

An old friend from middle school/high school asked that I do a grouping of 6 specific Louisiana themed paintings to make her Chicago home reflect her childhood one.  Can I paint a pelican?  Sure!  A magnolia?  Why not!  (With fingers crossed and a prayer!)

"Se ma mezon": Creole for "home"

Louisiana iris: state wildflower

Brown pelican: state bird

Bald cypress: state tree

"Union, Justice, Confidence": state motto

Magnolia: state flower

Thanks, Shea, old friend, for the opportunity!

Other friends, what can I do for you?
