The Who Sisters

"Who! Who! Who are you?"

"Who! Who! Who cares for you?"

"Who! Who! Who loves you?"

I've had these owls swirling around in my mind for quite a while. I am so glad that I was able to finally get them on paper! You can hang them individually or use them as a set hanging side by side.

Feeling a little stressed, lonely or afraid?

Remember the 'Whos".....

it will renew your mind and peace will follow!

In June I received a special request for this poem with a design painted around it. It is a poem that is known among parents of children with Down's Syndrome. I did a little research on Down's syndrome. I immediately fell in love with those precious children. Their faces are so beautiful with joy and innocence and trust. I kept seeing children peeping their heads over a fence but couldn't get that worked in with the poem. It finally clicked with me to paint two separate pictures. After that great revelation, it all fell in place! Well, the baby was born before I completed the pictures. I've seen a picture and she is so beautiful! Like a precious baby doll. Her family must be very special for God to choose them to care for this special creation. May He bless them all! I've been blessed just by working on this design for her bedroom. And I've decided that I think this poem really fits us all....not just children with Down's syndrome.

There is a new baby to add to the art collection! It's a baby sparrow.

I've had birds on my mind a lot lately. Maybe it is because I have two windows in my painting studio that give a great view of our bird feeders in the backyard. So while I'm painting, I easily get distracted by those birds...and an occasional pesky squirrel that steals their food. So I've been painting and thinking about those birds and the verse in the Bible that talks about sparrows. "His eye is on the sparrow" kept going through my mind over and over. I decided to take a break from the custom orders and give painting a sparrow a try. I figured if I could get it painted it wouldn't keep going over and over in my mind. I started it on Friday. Didn't have time to finish because we were attending my nephew's wedding in Athens, Ga. I was really disappointed that I couldn't get it finished. We made the 3 1/2 hr drive for the wedding on Saturday. It was such a sweet wedding ceremony! It also a blessing to see two people purpose in their hearts to have a Christian marriage. Their wedding vows were amazing. They taught a Biblical lesson on marriage through their vows. I received an extra special blessing from the wedding.... for all their music, Mark and Anna chose hymns. It was a sweet surprise when the first hymn sung was none other than "His Eye is on the Sparrow" ! It was really special! It was ok that I didn't finish my baby bird after all. So I'm back in the studio today and Just finished up my little baby bird. The verses about the sparrow are very comforting. Luke 12: 6 & 7 and Matthew 10:29-31. I'm going to make this design into prints but I also want to use it on cards. I think I'll include those verses on the back of the card. Now maybe I can focus on finishing up those orders :)
