Grandpa (Geddo)

"Grandpa"

I miss my grandpa... so I paint my grandpa! Another reason why art is good for the soul.

Where We Dwell... يا رب

"Where We Dwell" 2015
These are quick brush strokes, painted at a frantic pace.  As though it needed to be created not painted.  I needed to transport quickly and untether rapidly from earthly shackles and harsh circumstances and events. Events that are taking place globally, personally (physically), and within my circle of dearly loved people.  So, this is where I choose to dwell today and what I meditate upon.  If this brings you any lightness, hope or an escape, then please join me, even for a moment in, for lack of better words, a better place. Much love and blessings to you all.

My beautiful, lifelong friend
As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.-- Psalm 71:14 (her favorite verse)

The Path Everlasting



"The Path Everlasting" 
Make my footsteps firm and set my feet down Your path everlasting.

قَلباً طاهِراً يا اللهُ ضَعْ فِيَّ،
وَرُوحاً صَحِيحَةً وَمُسْتَقِيمَةً جَدِّدْ فِي داخِلِي.
11 لا تَدفَعنِي بَعِيداً عَنْ وَجهِكَ.
وَلا تَنزِعْ مِنِّي رُوحَكَ القُدُّوسَ!
12 أعِدْ لِي فَرَحِي الأوَّلَ عِندَما خَلَّصْتَنِي.
وَأعطِنِي رُوحاً مُطِيعَةً
