Sky #21

6x6, pastel

Been awhile since I have painted a 6" x 6" sky, but I thought it was a good time to return to the subject. I have painted a number of larger, grander skies, but these little jewels gave me confidence when I was just starting in the medium. God never fails to give beautiful skyscapes and if you don't like it....just wait a minute and it will be totally different!!

Seem to be in a painting quandry, can't get into the painting groove. So I turned to the ever present and always available subject matter! Just doesn't get any better than God's handiwork.

God in Everything

Commission

When I look at the sky, as I have said before, I just get a feeling/appreciation of God's majesty. I believe that God is in everything! Several months ago I was contacted by Mary Pearson, she, too, loves clouds. Mary's family owns and operates Pearson Farms in Georgia, check them out at www.pearsonfarm.com  to peruse/order their wonderful pecans, peaches (in season), vidalia onions, and gift items. She requested this commission, one of the bigger pastels I have completed. The majesty of the rays coming from behind the clouds just grabs me!

Hoping your Christmas was blessed. God got our attention as a family, prompting us to appreciate the time we have together, when our 35 year old son had a heart attack on the 16th.  God had him in the right place at the right time to get the care he needed. He had just arrived at work when he collapsed. Fortunately, he works at Dell Children's Hospital. Yep, God was all over this. It is not lost on my husband and me, that if it were not for His grace, our Christmas would not have been so joyous!

I finally completed the complicated painting I have been working on and decided to reward myself by painting another sky!! Just can't help but feel God's majesty when gazing at the beautiful clouds in the sky, pretty humbling to try to transfer that to paper.
