Here are some paintings I've been working on.
This one is on an unmounted canvas.
This one on sketchpad paper.
This one on a canvas too.
All of them have wall putty on them
to add texture and stiffness.
On my journal this morning,
a verse from John 16:
"When a woman is in labor,
she is in anguish
because her hour has arrived;
but when she has given birth to a child,
she no longer remembers the pain
because of her joy
that a child has been born into the world."
Nothing worthwhile,
nothing precious comes
without a cost!

ReplyDelete"Nothing worthwhile, nothing precious comes without cost." This alone takes my breath away. Smacks me upside of the head, so to speak. And typed on a woman holding a baby--eloquent (and relevant!), indeed. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYour ladies are beautiful, Patsy. I love the warmth and beauty that flows from your artwork. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteThank you for that sweet reminder (verse). I needed that! Great artwork! I would've never thought to use wall putty. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting, Patsy. The layered backgrounds are so well done. I've got to give putty a try someday soon!
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting my blog. i wish i could draw like you. your images are very beautiful! straight from the heart.
ReplyDeleteSo true, nothing worthy of doing is without cost. Your art is lovely.
ReplyDeleteEthereal, feminine, reflective; your work touches a woman's soul.
ReplyDeleteI found your pretty blog...Yippie!!!
ReplyDeleteAgain, love your art work, and thanks for the message, that means a lot to me.

Lovely paintings and the verse could not be more true, as we mothers know.
ReplyDeleteLove that mom and baby...all good! Wonderful texture in backgrounds! HPPF!
ReplyDeleteEvery time He remakes us we have those birth pangs. Your work is truly a blessing!
ReplyDeleteI linked here from Sandra's Still Saturday and am so glad to find you. Your paintings are wonderful. I especially love the backgrounds, and the wide-eyed expression in the first painting.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you!
I like the bright colors of the flowers against the sophisticated look of the women...especially in the 1st and 3rd. Nice!
ReplyDeleteAs I look again, maybe the backgrounds aren't flowers?? But they have a great floral feeling... Very spring-y! :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, the backgrounds with all of their various colors are such a great contrast for the faces!
ReplyDeleteThat verse is so true. The moment those babies were in my arms I forgot everything I had just endured. As always your paintings are beautiful. Love the backgrounds!
ReplyDeletelove the way you express
ReplyDeleteyour beauitiful heart
through all of this loveliness,
Jennifer
Lovely works! Nice words too...

Dear Patsy, I love the lettering on the woman’s blouse in the first painting..and I always love your colors and faces. Thanks for sharing your paintings and scripture thoughts on B&BB. So nice to have you there. May God bless your week in special ways! I’m writing this on a train from Budapest, Hungary to Zagreb, Croatia. I don’t have internet, but I opened up your blog post before the trip so I could read it while traveling. And I’ll paste my comment into a comment box when we arrive. So I’m reading your blog and thinking of you across the globe!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Patsy! Your backgrounds always make me smile. Such pretty colors and always fantastic textures!!

Very well.. I really enjoy this amazing work..keep sharing my dear..
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful artwork! And the bible verse you chose was touching. I had so much trouble during my pregnancy and relied on the Lord to get us through and since then, every milestone we pass with my 20-month-old is a blessing =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
