Old Glory


OLD GLORY   7" x 5" 

Premium oil paints on archival, oil primed linen board.

One nation, under God, indivisible, with justice for all. 

As I see American flags flying around San Diego, and especially at this time of year, I am reminded of the pledge of allegiance that I used to say in school with my hand over my heart. I was taught a love of all people of this, my, country, who were united, indivisible, striving for justice for all.
 I still hold to this ideal.

Butterfly Iris, Isaiah 40:8



Butterfly Iris,  5" x 7"

Oil painting on archival ol primed linen

Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of God endures forever.

These flowers are popping up all over San Diego They propagate very easily and are very hardy, so I see them around the neighborhood.  I am inspired by their dance like shapes and confidence. Each flower is short lived, but no matter they seem to be a positive influence on me and others.
