Pen or Brush

A fellow artist saw the Belgic Confession quote on my business card and said, “can you change letters to paint brushes?”

Belgic quote

That is how I think of my art.  For example this one from my display at River City Gallery.

Marsh Light

This is a view from Trempeleau National Wildlife Reserve of the Mississippi River and Minnesota on the other side.  I was struck by the yellows and blues of this late Winter scene.

I’m not a fan of words on top of pictures. I’d rather say, “look at this!”

This morning we came across another Two Book quote:

John Calvin, sixteenth-century theologian and reformer, wrote, “The creation is quite like a spacious and splendid house, provided and filled with the most exquisite and the most abundant furnishings. Everything in it tells us of God.”
