Happy Monday evening everyone! In lite of celebrating the biggest birthday in history my latest painting is a reflection of Mary and baby Jesus. Not only is it the last one for this holiday celebration but it is officially the last one for this year. Hope you enjoy and I can't wait to post again in the New Year. Thank you, Theresa

So once again, I'm posting my blog painting a day early. My latest piece, 'The journey to Bethlehem' continues working on the Christmas season leading up to the day we celebrate the biggest birthday in history Jesus's. Looking back on how simple life was to ride a donkey to get from one place to the next. I hope you enjoy. Thank you, Theresa

Since I have a early work day tomorrow I'm posting my painting early. From our house to you, we want to wish everyone a beautiful Christmas. I hope you like the start of my Christmas paintings. Thank you, Theresa

Happy Monday post early. I have to work tomorrow, so I wanted to make sure I get my fuzzy kitties up early. Once again I'm still trying to perfect the 3d paintings it seems to take a bit longer to do. Hopefully I will get the hang of it soon. Hope you enjoy. Thank you, Theresa

Good morning everyone. Here's my latest painting, a black and white on St. John Bosco. Also known as St. Don Bosco from Italy. A beautiful saint to check up on. Thank you, Theresa

Happy blog post early; a start to the new week. I would post tomorrow, but I work early and won't have a chance to get my blog up before days end. So this week I'm celebrating my painting with St. John Vianney from France. His life is amazing early history read if you have a moment to look him up. I was told this painting looked like a water color. Just to let everyone know it's still done in acrylic paints. I hope you enjoy this weeks blog. Thank you, Theresa

Good Morning everyone. So I have been getting asked if I draw before I paint. I  don't, I paint free style with all my paintings taking one thing at a time. My latest painting, I took different shots just to show everyone what exactly happens when I start to paint till the end. Sometimes it takes longer than it probably should doing it free style but I love the challenge. Thank you so much for checking out this weeks blog. Enjoy! Theresa 

What a beautiful fall day. I'm glad I got my blog Tarantula done today. I felt bad that my scorpion didn't haven't a pair to do go with him. So the what would be better than a big hairy spider to go with him. This is my creation for this week hope you enjoy. Thank you, Theresa

Happy Monkey Monday everyone. What a day, not only is it Halloween today, but it's blog posting day. My new painting on Monkey's, is a trial on seeing how I would do. I think they are a couple of cuties, but I heard they look angry. That's ok though, still got to love them. Well thank you for visiting and checking out my new post. Enjoy, Theresa

Wow what a Monday it's foggy as can be outside. Kind of makes my new painting the Scorpion perfect for todays post. After having a dream about one I thought this would be an awesome addition. Tried something new by putting more shadows giving it more of a 3d effect. I hope everyone has an amazing Monday! Thank you, Theresa

Talk about getting my painting up at the last minute. I was scattered brain on what to do for this week and it came to me. The lion and the lamb, a biblical read of a strong creature protecting one of the weakest ones. There's plenty of ways of looking at this painting and coming up with a great quote for it. This is my version. I hope you like it. Thank you, Theresa

What a beautiful Monday morning sun is up not a chance of rain and my newest blog for this week is up and done. This weeks blog painting was a special request from Fr. Joseph. After doing one of Fr. Samuel memorial I guess I did a good enough job to get this special request. The angel to right is St. Michael the archangel the defender. He is amazing addition to the painting and has a beautiful story and prayer behind him worth checking out. Happy Monday everyone! Thank you, Theresa

Happy Monday everyone! Here's my latest painting for you, I decided to do another beautiful big animal the moose. Known for it's size and strength weighing anywhere from 440lbs to about 1500lbs. We don't see many here, but the last one I saw up close was a baby moose in the field south of our farm. Hope you enjoy this weeks painting. Thank you, Theresa

What a beautiful start to the week, getting another painting of Saint Mother Teresa accomplished. This is my fourth painting of her as I'm trying to advance in faces I'm slowly getting better. Someone made the comment that this one looked like it was done in pencil. Not sure if that's a good thing or not. Hope you enjoy! Thank you, Theresa 

This was a special request from someone who is inspired deeply by this Beautiful saint of our times. I am moved by her very works that she did when she was alive. Giving everything to those who needed it the most and doing so with a smile and love for God. I hope you enjoy this weeks blog and if you have a chance, check her life story out, it's an awesome read. Thank you, Theresa

Happy Monday everyone I'm so excited I got my blog painting done today. One of the biggest animals out there. This challenge came from a co-worker which I have to say I haven't done a elephant before. Can't wait to see what other challenges will come my way. Thank you, Theresa

Happy Sunday everyone! I started to start out this week with a beautiful black horse painting. I'm happy on how it turned out so I hope you like it as well. Thank you, Theresa

My portrait paint of St Charbel from Lebanon. Amazing saint with interesting life story and continues after he dies as well. A must read if you have a couple of minutes to spare. Hope you enjoy. Thank you, Theresa

Happy Blog week here is my painting of a Fox. This was my first ever fox so I have to say it turned out pretty good. Hopefully if I do more they turn out just as good. Thank you, Theresa

I had another request for a portrait painting. This painting of Fr. Vetter will be going to auction in Sept at St. Anthony's. I hope who ever bids and gets it will enjoy the painting. Thank you, Theresa

I decided to do an extra painting this week to show the love for animals and how beautiful they are. Hope you enjoy this newest painting. Thank you, Theresa

Here's my painting for the week. I decided to try doing another wolf, this one I believed turned out better than the first one I ever did. So, I am very pleased and I hope you enjoy Thank you, Theresa

Today I had a chance to accomplish another painting. Considering I didn't have time to get one done last week and posted. This week you get two. Thank you Theresa

Here's my painting for the week. Last week was extremely busy I didn't have a chance to paint or post. So hopefully you enjoy thank you. Theresa

This painting was the basis for an anniversary request. I loved this part not only is the cross 3D but the rings just pop out with the different shading and highlighting. This is my picture for the week so I hope you enjoy. Thank you Theresa 

This bird symbolizes so much for many people. Strength, freedom, honor, and the ability to overcome any situation thrown at them. This painting was an accomplishment for me and a thank you to all that serve. Sometimes we forget what so many have given up to protect us. Thank you! Theresa

This is my third try at St. Therese and for some reason this version she looks older and tired. The roses are slowly starting to turn out to actually look like roses a plus. My crucifix I still have perfecting to do on Jesus but hopefully I will get it someday. I hope you enjoy. Thank you Theresa

This painting of Fr. Courtright is going up on silent auction at St. Anthony's in Sept. I'm excited for it I hope who ever gets it will enjoy. Thank you Theresa

Last week I didn't get a chance to post for the fact I have been working on this Coyote. The ceramic piece went through a hail storm and had many little dips in it, besides sun and weather damage. So after some love with plaster, acrylic paint and patience the ceramic piece is restored and I can't wait to deliver it back to it's owner. Thank you Theresa

This painting is an inspiration to many. Some might wonder what this painting stands for. I've started many journey's in my life and this art piece depicts one journey I am taking. I completed this art piece in a day it wasn't easy with kids and distractions but I did it. I see myself starting to thicken my paint for texture to give more of a 3d effect. I hope you enjoy. Theresa

My Midnight Swan is a new adventure. I have not completed many birds. So this painting of a Swan was both an accomplishment but also a tester to see if I am any good. In my paintings, I haven't used many purples or pinks, so the flower was a fun incentive to add. Hope you enjoy. Theresa
