We Are Never Alone

Even though it seems like it more times then not, that is our weakness speaking. With faith, we understand and accept that we are never alone. It is up to us to recognize that and embrace it. This week, I am posting three art prints that speak to that very issue.

The first one addresses those times we feel like we are and loneliness sets in.

Isolation

The next one addresses those times we take on a challenge that could be overwhelming, but with faith we strive forward to accomplish something difficult.

With Faith

The last one represents those times you pour your heart out and acknowledge that you are not alone, that He always listens.

Love Is Patient and Kind

This week I’m featuring four art prints I created with “Love is Patient and Kind” from Corinthians 13: verses 4-8. It is a well known group of verses from the bible to reiterate what love is. I think it’s a very powerful quote about what true love in daily life and personal interaction with others is all about. My wife and I had this quote on some artwork hanging on a wall our kids always passed coming out of their bedrooms. Reading it daily was always inspirational and motivational for all of us.

Love is Patient

I knew it was a perfect fit as an overlay on this photograph I took of an ocean sunset from our house in San Diego.

Love Never Ends

In this case I liked it with this abstract interpretation of the photographic sunset on the first one.

Love Is Patient: Ocean Palm Trees

This view along the coast in Carlsbad, California (San Diego Metro area) spoke to me in the same way.

Love Is Patient: Hidden Lake

And this one worked on one of my photographs I took of a lake in the Whistler area in British Columbia.

Tropical Palms in Fauvism

This week I wanted to share a couple of prints of mine where I used a fauvism technique which creates a somewhat abstract look to the subject matter. Both settings are in Arizona, the first one depicts palm trees reflected in a pond at Papago Park in Phoenix, Arizona. Papago park is located next to the zoo and the botanical gardens. In the middle of the park are two large ponds. The stillness of the water allows for the row of palm trees to be reflected in the water creating an added dimension to the scene.

The next one depicts the Estrella Mountain Range as a backdrop to North Lake in Goodyear, Arizona.

New England Street Scenes

This week I’m sharing three art prints from my Street Scenes Gallery that I created using an impasto oil technique. The setting is a typical New England village in the springtime. There is a definite charm and feel to the region along with the natural beauty of the coastal area.

Old Covered Wagon in Sepia Photography

This week I’m sharing two photographic captures I took while I was traveling the backcountry of Oregon on a covered bridge photo shoot. I did not anticipate this, but In the process I came across this historic covered wagon. It was on the property of a local museum. I knew it would make a great sepia photograph, so I turned the original front and back color photographs into these captures.

San Juan Island

This week I’m featuring two art prints I created using a sketching and watercolor technique. This technique uses soft subtle colors and precise sketched lines creating a sharper look.

Sailing In The Pacific Northwest

This particular art print depicts a sailboat sailing around San Juan Island. San Juan Island is in the Pacific Northwest just west of Anacortes, Washington. I love the forest covered islands that dot the landscape between the mainland of Washington State and Vancouver Island in Canada.

Friday Harbor Sketched

This particular art print is the entrance into Friday Harbor on San Juan Island.

Grand Canyon Overlook Sketched Watercolor Art

This week I’m featuring three art prints I created using a sketching and watercolor technique. This technique uses precise sketched lines and subtle colors creating a sharper look. 

Grand Canyon Overlook Sketched

This particular art print depicts the famous Lookout Studio at the Grand Canyon. The setting is the South Rim of The Grand Canyon in Arizona. The view is breathtaking from any vantage point and the numerous overlooks offer different perspectives of this natural wonder.

Tourist Gather

This particular print depicts tourist gathering just below the famous Lookout Studio at the Grand Canyon.

Night Glow Hot Air Balloons

I created these three art prints using a fauvism oil technique. This technique uses abstract shapes and variations of colors to create a unique look. The event is the annual Hot Air Balloon Festival in Avondale, Arizona (Phoenix metropolitan area). The balloon envelopes are inflated in the early morning hours for flights and races. After that series of events, the balloons are deflated until the evening hours when the envelopes are again inflated, but this time they stay on the ground. As evening turns into night with the darkening sky, the balloon operators shoot large flames up into the envelope of the balloon illuminating the brightly colored balloons.

The Setting Sun

I want to start this post with why I haven’t had a post in the last few weeks. I’ll start with “Ugh”!!! I had a major computer crash that happened the day before we were going on vacation with two of our grandchildren (and our daughter and son-in-law). We spent a week at Sunriver in Oregon and really had an awesome time. Then the fun began when we got home. I took my Mac to the local Apple store to see what was wrong. After running a number of tests on it, the tech told me the hard drive had not only crashed, but everything on it was gone. The good news was I had all of my artwork on a separate drive. He recommended a place to have me take it to that he thought would rebuild for less then they would charge. I got it back last weekend, but didn’t get a chance to boot it up until last Monday! Started OK, but then I had some issues that led me to take it back to them and get everything resolved as of this last Wednesday! Since then I have had to reload all of my files, etc. The rebuild of programs, etc. has taken me a few days, but I’m now back up and running. Having said that I am featuring a capture that I had in line to share next and it looked appropriate to me with how I was feeling through this event….like a setting sun on my work, but dang if it isn’t beautiful!!

Pacific Ocean Sunset

I captured this sunset above the beach in Carlsbad, California (north of San Diego in San Diego County). The beach is about three miles west of where we lived during our years in San Diego. From this original capture, I also created the following two art prints with inspirational thoughts.

Embrace The Moment

Yard Lamp

This week I’m featuring three art prints of the same yard lamp. I created all three perspectives using an abstract watercolor technique. This technique uses abstract shapes and strong lines to create a more modern look. The setting is a garden lamp attached to an adobe wall in a courtyard located on the grounds of the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas. The courtyard is full of trees, bushes and plantings. Under this garden lamp is a bench to sit and enjoy the afternoon. Completing the look of the courtyard is also an old adobe ranch house restored to its original look.
