Moment of Beauty–
Look around you and notice all the millions of little moments of beauty that God created in our world. I try to notice and paint an impression of them – one at a time. I think noticing those moments of beauty and having items around us to remind us of them, center our souls.
Scroll below the rotating gallery to see the shows I’m in now and plan to be in the future.
