IT'S TIME TO PREPARE FOR THAT FESTIVE AND MEMORABLE DAY - 

THANKSGIVING.

THIS IS A TIME TO GATHER AROUND THE FEASTING TABLE WITH OUR LOVED ONES.

THIS IS A TIME TO SHARE THE RESULT OF A BOUNTIFUL AND PROSPEROUS YEAR,

NO MATTER HOW THE YEAR MAY HAVE GONE.

THIS IS A TIME TO 

THANK GOD FOR EVERYTHING THAT WE

HAD

HAVE

AND WILL HAVE

 IN THE YEARS TO COME.

THIS IS A TIME TO REMEMBER EVERYTHING THAT OUR 

HEAVENLY FATHER 

DID FOR US IN 

THE YEAR 2014.

THIS IS A TIME TO REJOICE AND REMEMBER

THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED 

IN THE PAST...

THAT THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE POORER

AND 100% WORSE OFF THAN WE ARE.

THIS IS A TIME TO LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT YEAR,

WITH A FEELING OF ANTICIPATION,

AND TO FIND A SPIRITUAL PEACE

IN OUR HEARTS.

AND

TO KNOW THAT JESUS CHRIST IS KING

AND 

HE IS IN CONTROL!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

HMMMMMMM....

How is everyone?

Hope you are all chipper and ready for my next

very very special painting.

BUT

First of all,

let me pay tribute to a group of incredible

and

profound individuals

and

their wonderful blogs!

They are:

LINDA LEHMAN

JANET CAMPBELL

HAMMELMAN ART

LIN

FLIGHTY SONGBIRD

and

last but definitely not least ..... my fellow Phoenician...

WATERROSE

Many thanks to all of you for commenting on my previous post.

It was a very difficult post to put into words and to show.

You are all a special group to attack it straight on....

Congratulations!

I strongly urge everyone else to visit these blogs.

They'll appreciate it.

Thank you.

Ok now,

Why the mental vacation?

Because I needed it....

That's all...

That was short and simple! :)

Enjoy "WHO RULES?"

It's lighter and airier than my previous post.

I suppose I could say it is a battle between

MAN and NATURE...

That doesn't sound too light and airy...

Does it?

Sorry...I can't help it.

It's just ESCUDERO at work.

I wish you all an incredible weekend.

HURRY BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

HURRY BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

I HEAR FOOTSTEPS
THEY ARE BEHIND ME
THEY ARE MOVING

FASTER
FASTER
FASTER
NO, THEY SLOWED DOWN...
BUT

THEY ARE BEGINNING TO WALK
FASTER
FASTER
AND

FASTER
THEY ARE CATCHING UP TO ME
THEY ARE MOVING

FASTER
FASTER
AND
FASTER?


WE SPEND OUR WHOLE LIVES TRYING TO STAY ALIVE!

ASSERT YOURSELVES!

ASSERT YOURSELVES!

Hi everyone! So happy to be back after the hectic holidays...

This post is a great one to start the new year.

Lets all gather together and make this year the most wonderful 2009.

We can start by cleaning up our spiritual and physical selves.

We can start by asserting ourselves in whatever aspect we are

weak.

We can start by claiming that we will all become stronger

spiritually,

and

that we will stand tall no matter what happens in our lives.

Yes, this is what these two little fellas in this painting are

NOT doing!

They are simply blending in with their world.

They are too frightened to assert themselves!

Fear is our worst enemy.

Soooooo

lets leave these little soft and mushy fellas behind

and

ASSERT ourselves for 2009!

Our dreams can come true!

IS ANYONE OUT THERE?

IS ANYONE OUT THERE?

OLD CHIMP IS ALONE IN THE WORLD

BUT HE KNOWS THAT THERE ARE MANY MANY PEOPLE IN

THE WORLD

HE KNOWS THAT THERE IS A HUSTLE AND

BUSTLE IN WHAT WE CALL STREETS,

A HUSTLE AND BUSTLE IN WHAT WE CALL HOMES

(NOT JUNGLES),

A HUSTLE AND BUSTLE IN WHAT WE CALL LIFE!

YES, CHIMP KNOWS THAT EVEN THOUGH HE IS ALONE IN

HIS WONDERFULLY LUSCIOUS, GREEN JUNGLE

HE IS NOT REALLY ALONE....

SO IN HIS CHIMPY, BOUNCY WAY,

HE WANTS TO WISH

YOU ALLLLLLLL HUMANOIDS

A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

MAY YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL

2009!

A VERY SPECIAL TRIO

A VERY SPECIAL TRIO
10"x8"

I want to introduce Ann (left), Carol (middle) and Margaret to the right. These ladies are the most incredible quilters. Maybe I should call them MASTER QUILTERS. This title suits them better.

Yes, like I said in my last post, every Thursday morning @ 9a.m. I make my way over to the Lutheran church, and I always find the most beautiful ladies quilting away. They will quilt a complete bedspread for anyone, charge a minimal amount, and then donate it to a family or person in need. Talk about back braking work!

It was always my dream to live in Lancaster, PA because I wanted to live near the Amish, and I wanted to learn how to quilt. Well, my dream came true, and now you can find me in a wonderful little town near Lancaster. I met these incredible quilters, and they are so kind to be teaching me, so for Christmas I decided to give them a painting! This little jewel is the result. I think it's very special because it's meant for A VERY SPECIAL TRIO!

Hope you enjoy it.

P.S. Shhhhhhh don't tell the ladies.....it's supposed to be a surprise! :)

GOBBLE GOBBLE!

"GOBBLE GOBBLE" barely made it from becoming one yummy painted and varnished tasty turkey!
Oh well..
He's been pardoned for this year!
So "GOBBLE GOBBLE" may you have one long and painterly life.
I wish you the very best :)


P.S. "GOBBLE GOBBLE!" will appear in the near future more robust and painted as ever. For now please stay tuned for my bug series....

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!




 

ONE DESERT DAY...

ONE DESERT DAY

I just want you to pause for a few seconds and just contemplate the serenity of this painting.

I thought that it would be good to change my format for this one post,

because I understand that we are going through troubled times,

and that it's not easy to get past tomorrow...

The only comment about the election is that I ask that we all stay united!

Lets not let this election divide us as a nation...

We are ONE NATION

Lets treat each other with love and respect...

Now lets go out and vote!

I wish you the best.
