Peace. Can I state enough that what I hope for , strive for, and live in, is an atmosphere of peace as I paint daily. Is there anything more desirable in our chaotic world? I want to live it, show it, paint it. It, peace, is all around us. We have to look for it in our hearts and then live it out with courage and determination that we will not be cancelled or distracted from such a worthy goal, individually. I found my life’s peace in my Lord and Savior, my Creator who is known by 198 other names and titles. So my attention to this beautiful world created for us to live in and enjoy is to capture it’s beauty in oils, acrylics, and watercolors to share with others.
