Sunset



















Turquoise.
Orange.
Pink.

It sounds like an atrocious color scheme until you see it in a blazing sunset.
Gratefully, I saw one yesterday, New Year's Day. Glorious!!

Oh, God,

whose spirit moves though all things,

your infinite radiance IS!


Grant that the truth in me shall mirror

your Divinity today and everyday. -C.Stevning

The words are one of my favorite prayers, written by my brother. Thanks, Cam!!

  1. Wonderful colorful picture, but the moon was almost full yesterday!!! In a bit more than two weeks, we'll see a crescent moon at sunset as seen in this picture.

    I LOVE your brother's prayer. Is he a minister?

  3. Gosh, I just LOVE your art!!!

    I'm blessed to live in a place where we get sunsets like that almost every day. I never get used to it.

  6. By the way, I've said it before. Let's see some more larger format stuff from you.

    Try a big canvas with your left hand for crying out loud!

    Sketch this one with your south paw:

    "Hey Dwen, take a walk on the wild side. . . .and the colored girls go doot da doot, doot, doot da doot, doot, da doot, doot, doot da doot, doot, da doot, doot, doot,da doot, doot da doot, doot, doot da doot dooooooooooooo!"

  9. Pollinatrix and Todd - Thanks to you, both!! I am envious you get to feast on amazing sunsets often.

    Cam - Yes, I hear you! :) Mom wants me to draw hand and feet again, so between the requests of you both, we'll see what comes up!! It is a good and constant reminder for me to lighten up. Thank you!

    Delwyn - Hello! And welcome! Your icon photo and name are familiar to me - I've seen you on around and I am thrilled you have landed here as well!! Thank you very much!

    Dan- I am glad you stopped by this morning. Yes, my brother's Lou Reed words made me chuckle. Well see what happens! :)
