Great is the day when the cranes dance and show off, and on November 15, 2013 on a very special morning the whooping crane number 10-10 visiting our area with the sandhill cranes was looking on the sandhill in his special dance pose so I painted this painting to celebrate all life and dancing calling this painting ” Among Friends ” and hope you enjoy a great deal.

Each painting for me is a work of love, and not one that I paint is painted technically speaking, only from my heart and that makes painting a breeze for me and not so popular on the street but that is ok because what is hip is not always the best, and i can only paint a few paintings a year, I sell only original oil paintings, real fine art, not a print or copy, why do that??
Sunrise is an awesome light in the morning and these birds are up early, usually way before people have opened their eyes or their brains and they do this everyday, they are super vigilant and faithful to God, to show man a dimension that he often forgets in being so important. All birds have a very special purpose and that is wonderful to watch and see the Glory Of The Lord.
I hope everyone is having a very good Advent in preparation for Christmas in 8 days, and may all your families have safe journey, w peace, joy, happiness, hope, and most of all love. Jimmy Springett wildlife painter

Psalm 78, O my Lord who hast given and taken and continues to love his people today, I just want to say that I love you and obey you Father, I want to share your exciting deeds today in 2013 so people will know you are a God of Miracles for all your people. This is about mighty miracles, do you know what miracles are? They are an event that man can not explain from all his knowledge and is created by God to show his people he is real, living, and for them to worship and praise the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. When people see God at work what stops them from spreading the good news or to stop their sinning and sin no more? Adam had a great deal to do with fallen men and women right up until this moment, and God as you will see in this holy scripture is teaching while loving his people, and sometimes there is tough love too. AS parents you know what discipline your children is about, you still follow through even though you love them very deeply, just do not love their behavior. God’s law is the word and the word, living God is our Father Who Art In Heaven.
“Faith Of Our Father, Holy Faith” IN this scripture the people of Ephraim, were fully armed and ready for battle, but the day of battle they turned their backs and fled, because they did not obey the Lords laws that were taught to the past fathers generations ago and passed down, still they thought they did not need to obey what they had been taught by their fathers or to believe the great miracles in those early generations. Whew, what happens next? They had forgot the wonderful miracles God had done for them and for their fathers in Egypt. He divided the sea and they were saved, in the daytime in the desert he led them by a cloud and at night by a pillar of fire. He even split open rocks in the wilderness to give them plenty of water to drink, yet they kept on their rebellion, sinning against the God who is above all gods. They demanded other better food as well as water, then he opened the windows of heaven and rained down manna, bread from heaven and so the people ate the angel’s food. God called forth an east wind and guided the south wind and he rained down birds to fall all among the people and on their tents and the people at to their fill, and before they had finished the bird meat in their mouths, the anger of the Lord rose against them and killed the finest of Israel’s young men. Yet even so the people kept on sinning and refused to believe in miracles, so he cut their lives short and gave them years of terror and disaster.
Then at last, when he had ruined them, they walked awhile behind him, how earnestly they turned around and followed him! Then they remembered that God was their rock—that their Savior was the God above all gods. But it was only with their words they followed him not with their hearts their hearts were far away. They did not keep their promises. Yet he was merciful and forgave their sins and didn’t destroy them all. Many and many a time he held back his anger. For he remembered that they were merely mortal men, gone in a moment like a breath of wind.
After all this and the people still were sinning God decided to reject Joseph’s family, the tribe if Ephraim, and chose the tribe of Judah—and Mount Zion which he loved. There he built a towering temple and chose his servant David, from feeding sheep, and God promised David to his people as their shepherd and he (David) cared for them with a true heart and skillful hands.”
I love Jesus my mighty living God, The Father, The Son, and Holy Ghost, forever and ever!!!
Amen and Amen!!!

Such a joyful day, yesterday I was witness to a wonderful female whooping crane number 10-10 from the Whooping Crane Center in Baraboo, WI she was born in 2010 and was migrating, near Crex Meadows where the Greater Sandhill Cranes are preparing for their migration in fact a week ago during a 5″ snow most of the sandhill cranes left, and depending on the weather toward Thanksgiving the rest will leave too. They are feeding and eating close to the Trade River where the water is open and not froze.
Here is the good news, praise God, ” The Ten Commandments were given so that all could see the extent of their failure to obey God’s Laws. But the more we see our sinfulness, the more we see God’s abounding grace forgiving us. Before, sin ruled over all men and brought them to death, but now God’s kindness rules instead, giving us right standing with God resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
I did not get a wonderful flying image of the whooping crane because my Nikon camera, the auto focus on my 80-400mm lens did not work, but before that happened I did get a wonderful image of her standing amongst the sandhill cranes and for that I am very grateful for.
This special watercolor, called, ” mom and dad’s love forever “was painted in honor of my loving parents Jackie and Norman who I honor all the days of my life and thank God for his loving kindness throughout my entire life, starting first with home and the love that has no judgment, but only kindness.
w peace and love, always and forever,

Ever wonder why a painting speaks to you, you do not know the artists and yet the work is wonderful. Go with it, appreciation is heart felt and a part of who we are. I am very grateful to be painting today at this time.
I think art is a very special medium and one thing as a painter I love color and that translates for me to a way of seeing, a way of loving my subjects for people and sharing that love, color is love. Awesome, my color is love, kindness, and peace..
These four paintings are unique and as you view can you say how they appear, what do you think, they are small 5″ x 7″ and 9″ x 12″ with a lot of thought going into each one.
Peace and may your days be bright and happy. If I can paint for you let me know. I paint wildlife because I love all the birds and animals with all my being and God’s creation is meant to be honored just like people, animals teach me greatly.

For those who are readers of The Psalms, today we read Psalm 45, verses 1-7 and goes something like this from the “Living Bible ” :
” My heart is overflowing with a beautiful thought! I will write a lovely poem to the King, for I am full of words as the speediest writer poring out his story.”
” You are the fairest of all; your words are filled with grace; God himself is blessing you forever. Arm yourself, O Mighty One, so glorious, so majestic! And in your majesty Go on to victory, Defending truth, humility, and justice. Go forth to awe-inspiring deeds! Your arrows are sharp IN your enemies hearts; They fall before you. Your throne O God, endures forever. Justice is your royal scepter. You love what is good and hate what is wrong. Therefore God, Has given you more gladness Than anyone else.”
Amen and Amen!!!
