Blue Dances

This is another of my first attempts at Cloud painting. I could not find the original cloud (sniff), though I am sure it is somewhere in my enormous collection of amazing cloud formations.

Daddy Update: Last Sunday morning Dad walked my youngest sister down the aisle, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. He walked around quite a bit that day--and seemed the better for it.

The neck doctor had some discouraging news. According to the cat scan, there is a cyst which is lodged where the break in Dad's neck is. The Doc thinks Dad was probably born with it--but it seems to be impeding the bones from healing. But there was some good news, too--We saw the wound specialist on Wednesday. She was amazed at how quickly the top of Dad's head is knitting. Indeed--when I change his wound each day, I am amazed to see visible progress--It is a miracle to watch how quickly the flesh is covering over the bone, when the doctors said it never would.

Please pray for safety for all the family members and volunteers who will be at my parents' home this weekend. We have a LOT to do, including some serious work on the roof. It is my hope and prayer that we will accomplish more than we ever thought possible. Dad and Mom need to be in their own home. I would appreciate your good thoughts and prayers this Labor Day Weekend.

Dances With Light


Here is another Cloud Painting of an angel dancing in the skies. She seems to be dancing with bits of light, gracefully wafting them around her like a misty handkerchief. You can see delicate sketched traceries of what I saw, in the smaller original photo.

I caught this lovely angel dancing in the skies over historical Independence, Oregon, one of the most beautiful and interesting places on earth.

Elegant Magnolia


I had a lot of fun putting in the detail you see in this pen and ink. I enjoy patterns, lines and the feel of beauty which fine detail adds to a drawing. The flowers were inspired by some photos I snapped in the quaint town of Stevenson on the Washington side of the great Columbia River.
