"Thanks" Where "Thanks" Belongs


To quote one of my favorite artists, Dan McCaw, "Art is a collaboration between the heart and mind in an effort to expose a piece of the artist's soul." I'm not sure about all of that but somewhere between my head and my hand is a place that loves to paint, my heart. I have to give the glory to my Lord, Jesus Christ, and thanks to Him for the ability He's given me, to Nick for his encouragement, to Dan McCaw for his inspiration and my mom, Peggy Pettit, who thinks I can do anything (gotta love those moms!). But, let's leave the exposed soul to the Master, shall we?

Merry Christmas, Everyone!
May the true meaning of Christmas be at the
heart of your holiday!
I painted this for our Children's Christmas Party at church. My friend Sandy Harris read a poem depicting the events surrounding the birth of Christ. I painted this scene as she read.

This is too beautiful for words.
The amazing thing is the way you do it, no one can understand until experiencing watching you make this beautiful creation while listening to the story of Jesus' birth. I'm sure you touched the lives of many children.
