I am adding this little painting to my website. I  love working with pastels,
however they aren't easy to photograph.  The painting is very soft looking
and didn't come out that way in the photos.  This painting is special to me because
it is of my two kitties (Gabriel and Appolo) and I in spirit, in our heavenly Fathers presence.

I would like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!

I have been working on this painting off and on for several years,
I am going to call it finished. I gave it this name because that is what
I felt as I painted it... it seemed to have an energy that evoked truth
and strength. 

I am trying to do my part in going green, I am using recycled frames
 and some recycled matting with my pastel paintings.  This is a challenge both in searching
 for used frames in very good condition and matching them up with appropriate
paintings.  This way I can almost charge what I would have charged without them
 being matted and framed.
