God's glory is revealed all around us, if we have eyes to see, ears to hear and hearts to understand.

"Just for Arden", oil
We joke with my sister that special things in life were created just for her. This sunset at Clearwater Beach in Florida was one of those things. It was an overcast day, but there was still a wonderful moment to capture as Arden splashes along the beach during the setting of the sun. The purples and blues were so strong I had to make it a painting! Just for Arden.
Lyn, this is so beautiful. It captures a happy, carefree moment so perfectly. I think what I like about it the best is that it really reflects that it's not the material things that make us happy. Some of the best moments in my life have been when I stop and enjoy the everyday miracles of life that surround us. (P.S. I love your sister's name!)
Claire, you saw in the painting the emotion I felt while painting it. Enjoy every day, moment and hour that we've been given. Become one with the magnificance all around us. "Arden" was my grandmother's name also.
I am the owner of Art & Soul Gallery in Lemoyne, Pennsylvania. My works and 35 other local area artists works are exhibited and available for sale at the gallery. Contact the gallery at 717-761-1270. We are located on the second floor of the West Shore Farmer's Market. Please visit and consider the beautiful original works by Central Pennsylvania artists.
After a career in business, I couldn't shake a lifelong desire to create art. In 2003 I began this wonderful journey of painting and sculpting. There is so much to learn and always new ways to improve and grow as an artist. In my small way, I hope to show the glory of God all around us.
What beautiful color, Lyn, and a great composition. You really captured a wonderful moment.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat. I enjoyed painting this work, since I thought about that day the whole time. Had alot of meaning.
