"#5 ...first day - The Heavenlies
Large oil on canvas
"... and the morning and the evening were the first day". - Genesis 5.
2022 - This painting began as an above-the-clouds God's eye view of the heavenlies, however, as with many of these paintings, a different, unexpected but welcome view emerged.

"#6 ...land appears" - The Heavenlies
Large oil on canvas
"Let the dry land appear" - Genesis 1:9 - 10
Prior to an October 2020 trip to the Hawaiian islands, I daydreamed of their magnificent beauty. This soft painting evolved from intentional first attempts. The jagged rocks that were slowly softened and then swept away in a natural letting go and then letting the softened elements, sweet, gentle, and graceful be revealed.
Please enjoy as you explore its subtleties and experience the sweetness.
