He's Got the Whole World In His Hands


"He's Got the Whole World in His Hands"
16 x 20
Oil on Raymar Panel

I love painting smiles...I am the product of a military family.  Brats we are called.  Military brats.  It is a unusual community and only another brat knows what my path has been like and I understand theirs.  I know what it is like to be apart from my family...I know what it is like to count the days until you are together again...I know how joyous homecoming is.  I know how precious family is.  When I saw this reunion of a military member returning from deployment it touched my heart.  
Painting it was a joy...knowing I put a smile one someone’s face makes me happy.  So here I am...painting smiles again.

The Good News!

The good news is my son will be home from his deployment this week!  I get to remove the blue star from my window once again!  To celebrate his homecoming I decided to share this painting of the aircraft he flies.  This is an abstract version of the Osprey breaking through storm clouds.  
I would like to thank my family, my good friends, and followers for your kind thoughts and prayers while he has been deployed.
