"Gifts" (unavailable)




















(unavailable)

We most often need to look to someone more powerful than ourselves to bring about the circumstances that we desire. Our Creator God has that power. There is really nothing else to say...just believe.

To make any piece work well you really need a representation of light, medium, and dark values. In abstract work, I love to use black or the darkest value of one of the colors. However, if you need to bring warmth into a dominantly cool painting, brown is an excellent choice and more subtle than black. This happens to be raw umber in the form of a soft pastel. Yes, and I did spray it with Krylon Acrylic Spray Coating because it will end up being varnished after being mounted on a gessoed masonite panel. Chalk pastels will not work...you must use soft pastels. After Georgia Deaver came, I threw my chalk pastels in the trash. That's how useless they are!
