Sometimes when you loose someone very close to you, it is comforting to remember them in some special way. For me, painting a picture is a way I can remember and grieve my loss of a special person-- this time it is my little sister Jill. This is a picture taken during a walk with my sister Jill and her husband Casey, on a spring morning in Cayucos, near San Luis Obispo. We are walking towards Morro Rock. I liked the picture, though I had never thought of painting it. In the distance are 5 kids, representing their 4 children plus one. Maybe I should add the future Grandson who is on the way now too. The Rock represents for the solid foundation they have established for their family as Christians.
I love landscape pictures, I think mostly because I see God’s beautiful creation, especially in sunrises, or sunsets, and clouds. God’s signature - His Creation -- is so evident in nature and most importantly is present in His people. Each person is unique. And I celebrate Jill and the special person she was to me all her life. She walked closely to the Lord, especially these last 4 years. Now she is walking with Him.
