Landscape Painting


This is one of my oil paintings, I have been working on.

The beautiful mountains, the vast open skies, they all seem to express the wondrous beauty of their Creator. I love light, it brings out color in every direction. As the sun sets and light fades, darkness falls and all things that were colorful, are dark to our sight. Color brings me joy, when I see the beautiful landscapes the beautiful colors shine through, it is as if they are singing. Here I don't hear them but I see the colors sing.
Light reminds me of our Lord Jesus Christ, He is the Light who leads us in this dark world of sin. Every morning as daylight comes on I am reminded of this great truth.
"The Heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork."
Psalm19:1
