I lift up mine eyes....

I'm a mountain gal, that's where I find beauty, solace, inspiration and refueling of strength.  And while I love the Appalachian Mountains, some westerners argue that they are merely hills.  So, for the sake of  Psalm 121 I will concede that point.  This is a simple illustration but strength from the hills doesn't need much explanation, either you get it or you don't.  Anyone who spends much time contemplating the mountains and their changing beauty will know that "He who watches over you will neither slumber nor sleep...."  This piece is not framed....yet, email me for prices.  This 9 x 12 piece is horizontal as the verse was divided between two pages of the ancient text.

CHILDER'S BARN, 6X8, OIL

We have been together, as a painting group, for over four years.  Every year we go on a painting retreat together.  It's always a wonderful week full of cooking, painting, talking and more than a few glasses of wine.  Twice we went to my mountain home in western North Carolina.  This beautiful barn is just down the road and last September we spent a morning painting it.  When we were done, we returned to the house to have a wonderful picnic lunch with home made bread and egg salad sandwiches.  Thank you, Mary!
