A Flower in the Time of Storm

 A major storm hit our area and extensive flooding caused damage and problems for many people in the area. We spent an hour in the basement because of the constant tornado warnings. As I usually do, to keep calm, I paint. I thought of the song “A Shelter in the Time of Storm” (the shelter is Jesus) but for me on this day this painting was “A Flower in the Time of Storm.” It’s painted with my new Winsor and Newton Professional Watercolors. The size is 9 x 12. Matted it can be 11 x 14. The painting is from some flowers my daughter and granddaughters gave to me.

Blue Bird in Our Yard

 

This guy spent several weeks knocking into my kitchen window until we put the screen in it. Then the bird proceeded to build a nest right by the kitchen window in the spouting. A rubber snake didn’t scare it so the nest is there. The bird thought I wasn’t looking when I took this picture. It was sitting on top of the bell in our yard waiting for me to leave so it could put another straw in the nest. The picture is an 11 x 14 watercolor. It is SOLD.
