Hannah's Ascent and The Gift

Dear Reader,

There is a gallery back east that is interested in viewing these 2 paintings. I have tried twice to email jpegs to them and somehow my Mac generated images are not being displayed on a PC. So, I am uploading these images for them to see and hopefully you can get a peek as well.

It seems to me that this is one other reason why Blogs are useful.

Well, I guess I can now say that I will be in a group show at the White Stone Gallery in Pennsylvania. They specialize in promoting artists who are passionate about their faith and their art. Bravo for them. If all goes well, they are planning a show for my work next year in August. What a blessing. I guess I better start planning at least 10 paintings......and focus!

I was listening to one of newest favorites. Phil Wickham. He has a remarkable voice that evokes passion and sensitivity. His album Divine Romance is inspired and all the songs speak about his love of his Redeemer. His song " Holy Holy Holy " was playing continually as I painted "Hannah's Ascent".

  3. Excellent as usual! Congrats on the gallery inclusion.

    By the way, I finally finished the cemetery plein aire. I painted the rest of the scene from memory when I got home. Stop by my blog and rip it apart when you have time!

  8. Wonderful work Frank, it brings peace to my core. Thanks for letting God use your talents to create these paintings, they mean a lot to me.

    Hannah's story has always been a miracle of faith for me, I guess that's why she's my first daughter's namesake.

  9. Thanks Frank. I did take a photo but didn't use it as it was too silhouetted.
