  West of here ( now where is that???) I was able to spend time with a friend and yes we had a great time making memories. This scene was interesting to me and I was hoping to show a winding passage plus include some interesting vegetation that isn't seen in my Houston neighborhood. Yes I still pushed the colors...can't help it! Thank you for stopping to look! This painting comes with a white wooden frame, ready to hang.   6"x6"x1.5" Mixed Media on PANEL/FRAMED $120 Click HERE for more info. EXCITING NEWS!!

  Why are we so fascinated with water? We go to the beach and spend hours watching the waves. We find a pond and stare at the plants growing and look for life amongst them. This painting was inspired by a visit to an area near my home that I love to visit, an arboretum here in Houston, a gem hidden away in the middle of the city. It had been a hectic few days and just standing there and staring at the pond water was what I needed to relax. Yes, this was indeed “ Living Water”and the longer I stared at it my mind went to several references in The Bible that spoke of living water relating to a knowledge of God, a relationship with Him and the everlasting life that is available through Jesus. I tried to capture some of what I felt that day with paint and have it to share with you!

  Sometimes I wonder if anyone thinks the colors I use in a painting are what my eyes see when viewing my inspiration. The answer is no. I just love to exaggerate and explore relationships between color families to tell the story of the moment. This painting illustrates a routine of gathering together and heading home. My goal was to push the colors in such a way that you might pause a moment to linger as you stared at the painting and then maybe go so far as to define for yourself what "Second Gathering" means to you. Many layers of texture and color weave together the multiple layers of meaning.  18"x24"x2" Mixed Media on Canvas/Available Click HERE for purchase info.

  FRESH OFF THE EASEL "Don't Stop Reaching" seems an appropriate title for this painting. I've painted this scene before and I just love the idea that this cactus has survived so much right here at my home and yet still keeps growing and doesn't give up. It has been neglected and even frozen at times but after all these many years it has grown taller than me and shows no sign of stopping! I have those days when it seems easier to just stop trying to grow, to expand on what I am doing but just looking around I can find inspiration right here in the midst of creation! Enjoy today, get out and look around...inspiration is everywhere and you might just wonder how all this was created! I'm always in awe of the Creator's creations! 6"x6"x/1/8" Acrylic on Panel This painting is available framed or unframed HERE Learn about my weekly art classes   HERE View my upcoming Workshops HERE Sign up for my  Newsletter    HERE Visit https://Holl...

  This painting, "Rebirth", was inspired by a scene in an area near me that was in the process of change. I choose to look for the positive in most areas and so this painting was created to reflect the bloom of fresh colors overpowering the old and gray. The sense of a new beginning that was fresh with promise was the feeling I was hoping to portray. Isn't the idea that we can start fresh with a "clean slate" a great idea? 20"x20"x1" Mixed Media on Canvas/sold Commissions welcome.

  The title of this painting, “I Am Your Strength”, jumped off the pages of my prayer journal. For me, I know my strength is not from me but from my Creator and so when I saw this group of trees with the light blindly piercing through I was inspired to paint what represented the strength of God in my life. The curve of the trees represents the paths we take and yet they still stand and are able to support life. I love looking at trees and wondering about their journey through multiple hardships and am in awe that even the trees are supported by the same Creator that holds me up in all kinds of weather. I think this painting just keeps surprising me and I see more and more in it that I didn’t even realize I painted. The place and time that inspired this painting is very dear to me and life changing. So much to think about...! 36"x24"x2" Mixed Media on Canvas/Available Click HERE for more info. EXCITING NEWS!! My NEW Instructional Video "Bold Contemporary...

  My close friends and family know that I “dislike” driving but always enjoy being the passenger. ( Too many drivers have used my car as their braking system!) As a passenger I’m able to take photos and have a chance to be inspired by the view without driving off the road! This painting, “The Road Is Still On The Map” was woven together from several scenes as my friend and I were exploring and I was trying to give directions from our paper map and our GPS / Google devices on a recent trip.  We were often pleasantly surprised that the road we were on was on the map. In painting this I used many of the colors that actually existed but as always I exaggerated some to draw attention to the trees that otherwise are only glanced at... you know, just more green trees! So in naming this painting I was referring to the road we were on but also thought a bit more about life in general.... perhaps the road to happiness and light is still on the map, yes, even today it is able t...

This photo does not nearly express the intent of this painting so I will try to use words instead. I viewed these cows quietly grazing far off from the road and just stopped to imagine a few things. What if we could all just calmly go about our day being the best human possible without complaint, just partaking in what was in our surroundings and being at peace with what we had. I believe that might change a few things for the better and so stopping to look at this scene might give us a glimpse of what some might label "As It Should Be" . I tried to use a design and colors that would express a calm, a sense of peace, even if they were a bit exaggerated as I tend to do. My hope is that you pause for a moment to use your imagination and even enjoy the painting! Thanks for reading! 20"x20"x2" Mixed Media on Canvas/Available Click HERE for more info.

I love exaggerating the colors of the objects I paint but in this painting I tried to calm them down. I wanted to express the feeling of rest after going through a “storm”. The inspiration for this was an area in Houston that had been under water. As the water was receding and the clouds clearing the birds found food and in the stillness a beautiful glow of warm light blanketed the area. The light transformed the darkness and revealed the softened harmony of the landscape that was still standing after the crisis. The area was changed but I loved looking at the surviving trees and reflecting on how we weather storms and gather strength as the Light covers us and leads us through.

I tried to capture a photo of this view while I was a passenger on a recent road trip so I could paint it later. It's a bit exaggerated in color but then what's new! I always like to push the colors and working with these blues and greens was a nice change. Road trips can still be fun once out of the city!

I took off one afternoon to explore a small town here in Texas near my home in Houston. It was refreshing to see the older buildings and to imagine their history and all the stories they hold. I think it's important to not forget some of our history and maybe even slow down some... I'm used to living in Houston but it was refreshing to walk around and take my time without being rushed. I am grateful to be able to explore so close to home. Do you enjoy a change of scenery? Hoping to get out of the studio more often! This painting comes in a white wooden frame ready to hang!
