Acrylics By Theresa Gilbertson

 I was inspired to paint this image of Jesus. I used a flesh tone, which usually seems a little to much on the orange side, actually worked out. It almost seems to bring his eyes out beautifully in this painting. I will miss this one. It sat next to my desk until the person I painted it for finally revealed them self. I find myself doing this a lot with painting portraits of saints and they wait until needed.  This portrait went to a very special person I hope you enjoy it. Theresa

My eagle coming in for a landing. A new adventure of animal I had to try. Painting this on was fun but trying especially when trying to get the wings done. I can't remember how many time I had to redo them just because the didn't out right. Hope you enjoy. Theresa

Here are two memorial painting's I've done in remembrance of two very special priests. Fr. Hughes was from Ireland and Fr. Samuel from Africa. Both priests came to the US and became a part of many lives as well as living out their devotion to God and the Holy Orders. These two will truly be missed. Theresa
