NYC Art Exhibition

Dear Kind Friends,

You are cordially invited to attend the opening reception of an art exhibition where two of my recent original watercolor paintings will be displayed and for sale, the evening of October 16th, 2009 from 6-9 PM. This event will be held at the Presbyterian Redeemer offices, 1359 Broadway, 4th FL (at 36th St.) More information available here: http://www.faithandwork.org/exhibition

I am thrilled to be hanging for the first time in New York City, a place where my family has a long history! Francis Schaeffer pointed out that art was both a reflector of the times and a catalyst for change. This should be an interesting exhibition, since it was designed by a rather unique and visionary group who have focused on renewing our culture.

A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful, which God has implanted in the soul of man. ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Stuart – Dwelling Securely, Forever

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. ~ Psalm 23:6

This little lamb was named after his NZ shepherd, Stuart. Everyone loves him, and the original 7×9 watercolor is now in a private collection in Texas.

30 x 38 Watercolor, 2009; Psalm 50:10-15, 23
My first full-sheet work in ten years, this white-tailed doe deer depicts the wild beasts of the field which are all described as owned by our Father, in Psalm 50:11. He cares for them. His people can cry out for help in the day of trouble and He promises to deliver us. We must then glorify Him. I praise YaHaWah’s great name for faithfully providing all that I need these past few months! I am grateful for the use of the photo reference, taken by my good friend Alicia Pearce. A gift Werner Gitt sent me – the strong lyrics of a joyful Mahalia Jackson CD, really helped me complete this big painting!
