AWESOME DESERT SUNSET - You cannot see the fullness of this painting from this photo. The actual dimension is 40" wide X 16" tall. It is on an unframed 2 inch wide canvas. This priceless sunset was painted from a photo that I took from a passenger train on the southwest route across the desert. It is one of the most beautiful and dramatic skies that I have ever witnessed. We actually took 5 photos across to capture the entire scene. What magnificence and GLORY our great GOD shows in this awesome sunset! #11/7 Price $200 SOLD SOLD
THE ASCENSION - This has become one of my favorites. I have loved being able to gaze into the sky and imagine Christ ascending into the clouds from the hillside in a scene similar to this. The sky in its brilliance just seems to be full of His GLORY and the hills alive with His radiance! "When He had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, He lifted up his hands and blessed them. While He was blessing them, He left them and was taken up into heaven." (Luke 24: 50-51) #1/7 Size 18 X 24 framed. Price $150. SOLD
HOUSTON MESA: You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. Isaiah 55:12. This photo was taken on Houston Mesa Road on the outer edges of Payson, Arizona. When I saw it, I truly did want to clap my hands and shout for joy! I was so amazed at its beauty and peace! This is just one small fragment of the beauty in the surrounding area. God must have truly loved the land here! I know he loves the people! #57/7 Medium Oil; Size 16 X 20 X 1-1/2.

THE WORK OF HIS HANDS: The Heavens declare the Glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalms 19: 1. A few months back, in early summer, one beautiful morning, God showed me probably the MOST beautiful sunrise I have ever seen! Not that daily they aren’t, but there was something special about this one! My grandson was here visiting and we both thought the same thing. How GREAT is our GOD! He simply amazed us. There was nothing elsie 36 X 24 e I could do but proceed to paint it as best as I could. # 74/7 Medium Oil. Size 36 X 24, beautifully framed and finished, .

SONRISE: This was one of my first paintings after retirement. I loved taking early morning walks and watching the sunrise over the beautiful mountains overlooking the city. The sky spoke to me of Christ in all his GLORY and reminded me then, as it does now that each day is new and alive just waiting for a fresh new ,journey! Thanks Sam for the critique on the mountains - it worked! # 7/7 Medium Oil. Size 18 X 24 framed. Price $225.00. SOLD.
THE SILVER OF YOUR SPIRIT ~ I recently read a beautiful poem stating that, "We were made by the hands which framed the heavens! To inquire of the one whose voice thundered and the earth's pillars were formed...Are these hearts, formed in such iniquity, filled with such hate and who are so broken, that we should demand, "Why have you made me thus?" We, lowly vessels of clay, shaped of earth and shame; You, the potter who has filled us with the 'SILVER OF YOUR SPIRIT,' covered us in the blood of Your Son, chose to redeem us and show great mercy that we may glorify and honor YOU!" ....... BELIEVERS ARE INDWELT BY THE POWER AND LIGHT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND, EVEN THROUGH THE 'CRACKS' OF OUR LIVES, HIS SILVER GLORY BURSTS FORTH IN RADIANT POWER! I am hopeful that this painting conveys the message of the indwelling and radiant power of the Holy Spirit in the Believer's life! This painting has been donated to Mountain Bible Church( PASTOR JJIM HARPER) and is no longer for sale. Size 18 X 24 framed; Medium Oil: Original Price $225.
TRANSFORMATION: This painting is one of my favorites! We have a “Butterfly Bush” in our front yard. It attracts all kinds of butterflies. The beautiful bright purple blooms woo them gently and continuously. There are multitudes of butterflies on it at any given time during the spring and summer seasons. However, in the late fall, winter and early spring it is kind of lonely…awaiting the transformation. The little caterpillars must change and transform into these gorgeous and beautiful creatures that we love so much! It takes time, lots of work and patience for this to happen, but the payoff is what you see above! These beautiful creatures of God’s handiwork grace our world in their order of things. Romans 12:2 says, “Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may be able to discern what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” This verse, and the transformation of this wee tiny creature symbolize how perfect this transformation ought to be when all the steps are patiently followed and taken in order. The outcome is beautiful, graceful and wondrous! Perhaps we had all better take a good view and contemplate where we fall in our own transformation process! # 81/7 Size 11 X 14 framed/beautifully mounted. Priced at $300.00. SOLD.
E. Verde River - Payson, Arizona: My first plein aire experience in Arizona was extremely pleasant in this beautiful, but not unfamiliar spot. A lovely group of artists gathered together under the tutelage of one of our college art professors for a wonderful and fun-filled morning of art and beauty! Most of us finished our pieces at home. My piece started with watercolor and finished up with oil. It was an extremely interesting piece to do and hopefully one you will love as I do! God’s beauty struck me with awe once again as I beheld the mighty creator’s masterpiece. I am always striving, although being humbled as I make the attempt, to re-create what I see in order to share it with others. It is never the same as seeing it for yourself! # 88/7 Size 11/14 framed watercolor & oil (mixed media), Size after framing is 17 X 20. NFS
