Seeing the way God uses color in his creation inspires my art and gives me a clearer view of His love for me and you. I'm inspired by the sparks of emotion I feel when I see color, and I hope you feel those sparks when you view my work.

My 200th Post and Aisle to Aloha Studio Giveaway!

 Well folks, you are reading my 200th blog post since I started writing in March of 2009. I have so much fun writing this blog and can't explain how thankful I am for each one of you who reads and leaves comments every day. Some of you have been here since the beginning (hi Crystal!) and some are just hopping on the train (Chudney is my 111th follower-welcome!). So, to express my gratitude and say thank you to YOU, my awesome readers, I painted something especially for you.




Yup, it's a mini-wave. One of you will win this little guy and give him a home! It's a mini version of my giant wave painting that I originally created for our living room. The canvas is 9x12 with a 1 3/8" edge. I use acrylic paints and add a protective varnish so your painting is looking fab for a long time. It's painted on the sides so it's ready to hang (or prop on a shelf or dresser!) and is signed by me on the side.
