"Magnolia Bloom" #607
Available $575
24 x 24 acrylic on 1.5” Deep canvas.
Inspired by my husband's Uncle, Dow Wagner’s magnolia tree that blooms stunningly for only a few days. I've been wanting to paint this flower for years because I always feel devastated when these gorgeous blooms get destroyed by the wind. Capturing this beauty on canvas is my way making it “last forever”.

Available $850
24 x 36 Acrylic on canvas.
Inspired by the masterpieces God creates over Grand Lake. I was told by one of the sailors at St Marys Boat Club that Grand Lake is one of the best lakes to sail on because there's almost always wind, which makes “Evening Sailing” an exciting adventure!

Elijah Tree" #597
Available $850
24x36 Acrylic on 1.5” Gallery wrapped canvas.
Number 6 in my “Elijah Broom Tree” series.
Inspired by the beautiful story in I Kings 19:3-9, where God lovingly and miraculously provides for all of Elijah‘s needs. Elijah had done so many great things for God. Now he is despairing of life so much that he prays to die! But God provides a broom tree to lie down under and some much-needed rest. Then an angel wakes him up and provides fresh baked bread and a jar of water. After Elijah eats, he sleeps some more and the angel wakes him up again encouraging him to “eat because the journey is too much for you”. With the nourishment that God provides, Elijah travels 40 days and 40 nights until he reaches the mountain of God. I love the symbolism and the way we can experience God’s loving care and renewal as we trust in Jesus. He is the bread of life and the living water and Jesus promises “come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest”. Only Jesus can satisfy all the longings of the human heart. As I seek Him every day He gives me the strength and provides everything I need to face every challenge!
Thank you Jesus!

A Plein air painting adventure on North Shore of Grand Lake. Created with heavy application of paint using palette knife and brush. It started out very sunny that morning.

"The Dance" #497
Available $600
16 x 20 Acrylic on canvas. no. 8 in my dance series. Playing with colors and bold brushstrokes to express movement of the dancers. My series is inspired by the Beautiful design God made for marriage…bringing one man and one woman together as one, as a lifelong commitment to reflect Jesus's commitment to never leave us or forsake us. I love watching newlyweds dance because their love for each other is so obvious! I love thinking of my love relationship with Jesus as a “dance” where He desires for me to let Him lead and then the dance becomes so beautiful! But so often I resist and try to do it my own way. But when I surrender my will and allow Jesus to lead me… He transforms me and makes my joy complete!
