"I will lift up my eyes to the hills...my help comes from the LORD."
Looking up, like Abraham
"Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram"
Looking up, like Peter
"Peter...walked on the water and came toward Jesus"
Looking Up, like Jesus
"He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven..."
Looking Up... today, I am taking my first steps into a new land (cyberspace),
with my canvas, brushes, paint and pen (keyboard)...
It will be a sacrifice...it will take concentrated time and effort,
and cause me to give up some of the things I love....
but I will look up and remember: The Lord Provides
It will be stormy....the constant winds offering other ways,
and the waves of daily life as a parent of teens...
but I will look up and remember: Jesus calms Storms
It will be meager...my work is just a few among so many,
and there really are "starving artists" too....
but I will look up and remember: Jesus does Miraculous work
Come with me! I will try to put up a new painting each week. Enjoy the view!

This painting is a creative composition from photos I took, of the Bennett Valley, California hillsides. The cross is formed of stones painted white and kept by the landowner. It is a quiet landmark that speaks volumes. The grapevines are abundant in this area and truly represent the most popular of Sonoma County's beautiful sights. In the fall, the sunlight blankets the hills at dusk with a breathtaking glow. I wanted to remember that feeling.
