Paintings # 6 and 7 of 2023......

"Tenacity" is from a photo of our barn window. The name comes from the way the berries seem to hold onto the vine tenaciously right through the fall season, and maybe even into winter. I hope I will be that tenacious as the seasons of life demand it!

"Redeemed" is from a photo I took at an antique store a couple of years ago, and has been waiting for me to paint it.  It was a challenge to draw!  But fun to paint.  There was such an amazing shadow there.  I added the SOLD sign myself.  The name Redeemed reflects the way I have also been claimed, just as I am with all of my rusty spots and imperfections........ by the Lord Jesus, for eternal life with Him!
