Joyful Harvest
NEW WORK! It’s been a busy year, full of travel and other interruptions to artistic endeavors, but I was finally able to pull myself together to produce something visually solid, in honor of a dear friend’s 60th b-day. At least five gardens are represented and the result is very satisfying to me. I’ve not painted a still-life in about fifteen years but hope to do more, soon =)
For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the LORD YAH will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations – Isaiah 61:11
