I’m calling this one “Toms ‘n Lydia”! (knock knock … Get it?)
“Toms ‘n Lydia” 4″ x 5″ Oil on gesso primed board.
Fresh off the easel today, so won’t be available just yet. I really enjoyed working out these subtle variations of colour. That luscious Cad Red Light – I could almost eat it. (I said ‘almost’!)
Norma and I admired this cherry blossom a few months ago, on our walk to the cemetery where our youngest son was buried earlier this year. The trees were bursting into life after a long, cold winter, and reminded us of the believer’s sure and certain hope:
“…when … this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? … thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Cor. 15:53-57)
Cherry Blossom, Markinch Village, Fife, Original Oil Painting on 10″ x 8″ (26 x 20 cm) unframed stretched canvas. Varnished, ready to frame.
I couldn’t resist a bit of fun with grumpy Nigel, the highland cow! Capturing the essence of these lovable creatures on canvas is more difficult than it looks!
