Milk it for all it’s Worth!
The Jack Richeson Company, a manufacturer of paints, easels and other artists materials, recently had a competition for a medium I had never tried. Trying new media, sometimes shoves artists out of their “comfort zone”. But it is a great way to break creative blocks, as well as discover some new techniques and most importantly, …

To Everything a Season!
October 23, 1965 a song hit number 80 in the charts, performed by the Byrds called Turn, Turn, Turn. It parroted the text from Ecclesiastes chapter three. This text says “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven”. Ecclesiastes 3:1 True words. For me, fall is a time …

Paint the Town of Marble Falls
I wanted to give a shout-out to all the folks that made the Paint the Town Plein Air Festival event a success! There were many volunteers who helped during the weeklong event, Host families who put up artists (and perhaps “put up with”) in their homes, and especially Erin and Lindsey who I know were …

Valley of the Dinosaurs
Spring seems to have come a bit early here in North Texas. Temperatures have been hitting the mid to upper 80’s, and we are still in March. Trees putting out leaves and the grasses are waking up from their long winter’s nap. It seems that summer will be rolling in soon, but I hope not …

Fathers, Sons and Tacos!
I have some favorite foods. You know, those foods that are always a “go to” when you want something really good to eat. Tacos are on that list. Especially the small “street tacos”. As Thanksgiving came around this past year I received a request to paint three House Portraits for the owner of one of …

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
Can you imagine a world where absolute peace is the norm? Not just peace from wars and international conflicts, but true peace in every relationship. It’s hard to grasp a world like that. But, that is one of the things Christ came for 2000 years ago. I like the 500 year old carol called “God …

Snow of Gratitude
In America, I believe the Thanksgiving Holiday is much overlooked in its importance, and we have so much material wealth that we have become ungrateful. We should remember that gratitude is an amazing thing… everything changes when we live a life of thankfulness and gratitude. Donna and I were blessed and truly very grateful to …

The Speech of the Created World
Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens;Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the great mountains;Your judgments are a great deep;O LORD, You preserve man and beast. How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. Psalm 36:5 thru 7 Donna and I read this Psalm one morning before we …

Why Do Artists Paint?
Perhaps we need to dig down below the surface to really answer this question. The answer must start with creation: Genesis 1:26 “Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the …

Let Us make man in Our image…
These few words in Genesis 1:26 are like a deep well. And, trying to fully understand them is like trying to understand the depths of the ocean while standing on the beach. The effects of sin in a fallen world have dulled our senses to the reality of what God has done. One of the …
