Psalm 23

I don't know what it is about being half asleep in the morning, but it seems to be when I get ideas. One morning I saw a picture in my mind of the 23rd Psalm. The painting was 3-d with a mountain range and in the middle was a red line signifying the "Valley of death". As I thought more about it and the actual scripture, I realized it shouldn't be red, but gold. It is within the valley of death that we are called not to fear and know that God is with us. We are not alone during those times. In fact, that's when He is closest to us.

I Dream of Birch Trees

I had the idea for this painting when I was half asleep one morning. I saw white birch trees on a hazy background. I really like how this turned out. Props to Brent for the idea of expanding the trees across the canvas.

I'd like to do more of this type of painting and experiment with different color backgrounds.
