30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge—Day 11.

It's been raining and drizzling for about two weeks. Today, the front moved on and the sun shined again. This is a painting of our morning sky as the rain clouds retreated. It reminds me that no matter how down we get from long periods of life's "rain," the sun will eventually shine on us again.

"What are you painting next, Dad?" 
That's the question my kids ask me every day now.  They look forward to coming home from school to discover what I've painted for the day. My youngest daughter, who is an aspiring painter herself,  has been asking me for a couple of days to paint a hummingbird, her new favorite animal. So, here is a little labor of love in honor of my daughter.

30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge—Day 9.

Every July, our family gathers at Cove Lake in Jacksboro, Tennessee. We spend the day playing, eating and singing songs together. At the end of the day, when most people travel into town to watch fireworks, nature puts on a beautiful light show of its own in these misty mountains.

30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge—Day 8.

One of the great things about the 30 in 30 Challenge is that you get opportunities to explore subjects you wouldn't normally paint. I came across this cave in Alabama last summer and thought it would make a nice painting some day. I happen to love caves. For me, caves are comforting, quiet places full of hidden wonders.

30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge—Day 7.

This is my favorite little spot on Tims Ford Lake in Tennessee. It's a great place to unwind and spend time with family. For me today, it's a place of reflection. It has been one week since I took on Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. I have already learned a lot about my art and about myself. We all need a quiet place to unwind from our hectic life and reflect on our journeys—even if that place is in a painting.

30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge—Day 5.

Every Sunday, our church displays fresh flower arrangements during worship. They remind me of the beauty of creation, and the frailty of life. After worship, the flowers are composed into smaller arrangements and delivered to people who are home-bound or in the hospital. They truly are an offering of love and grace. And so, for Sunday posts during this challenge, I will attempt to paint details of these offerings to share with you.
