Title: Glimpses of Heaven
18 x 24 inches, oil on canvas
I must admit that I am growing weary of this world with all of its pain, suffering, fear, and hatred. I know I'm promised a better place when this life is over, but it's easy to become overwhelmed by the pain and grief until that time comes. And when you barely survive a hurricane that rips your life apart and then see another storm on the horizon, it seems more than anyone can bare. It's easy to focus on and fear the incoming storm, but if you stop and take a deep breath and be still, you can see glimpses of Heaven on the horizon. In that place we are promised peace, love, and no more pain. That is where I choose to fix my gaze.

Title: Portfolio Coffee House
11 x 14 inches, oil on canvas
This is a scene from a coffee shop that I used to go to in my college days. It was a place full of so many different people. I loved sitting for hours on end listening to people’s stories. I talked to aspiring college students, artists and authors, retired philosophers and engineers, and even a man who was convinced he was a real vampire. When you just sit and listen you can really learn a lot about someone and how differently they view the world.

Title: Mesmerizing Water

Title: Stormy Sea
11 x 14 inches, oil on canvas

Title: This Storm Shall Pass
18 x 24 inches, oil on canvas
This storm of life is dumping buckets of heavy rain on my soul and there are times I feel drenched and held down by the weight. I try to remember to look up, to look at the horizon beyond the storm. When I take a deep breath and wipe away the mixture of tears and rain from my eyes, I can see His glory. I can see His goodness and His promises to give me hope and peace. In this moment I am reminded that this storm shall pass, and even in the middle of it, He is with me.
