mule buck-TRNP-9

 

This wonderful mule deer buck a 5 x 5 as seen in Theodore Roosevelt National Park, in Medora, ND is an experience that you can see too, if you visit this wonderful National Park, in September through November will see these trophy bucks. The badlands in TRNP have a lot of other wildlife for the camera enthusiast, the elk, the buffalo, and whitetail are very good too, and the antelope are ever present.

My two sons and a close friend are working on an elk hunt for next year in Wyoming and so a lot of work, and a lot of painting to help earn this very special hunt. Have a great day and with Thanksgiving on the way say a prayer for all our families near and far who are being challenged by life’s events. W peace and love.

Love Abides in All Things, God’s Mystery

Just for a day peace and understanding and bringing people closer to one another. Seems that families seem we are not blood related but the whole human race is from the blood of Abraham, and a stranger is just a friend I have not got a chance to visit at this time.

My wish is that families open their homes to others and help many more in a year’s time, start today, and never forget we are strong together, please connect, no one left behind but all together. Your love will heal and make whole once again to give is the gift of receiving, yep, and a dog ( spelled backward is God, awesome) will help heal your heart too, they love unconditionally and I have a very great dog in Bubba our Black lab, I am sharing an image, an oil painting of him and God has blessed me so richly not in things, but in love and so many many loving friends too.

I’d like to share a story about a young American Artist his name is Dylan Pullis and such a very gifted student a Senior in Graceville, MN High School, parents Craig and Stacey Pullis. I am so lucky to know this wonderful artist and he painted a great work of art a few years ago, and gifted to me, that is a treasure to me and is my studio. I have been mentoring Dylan and encouraging the past few years. Dylan is going to attend college in the arts and I know that he’ll be so good at whatever he does.

Have a great day and may your day be filled with love and peace.

Craig's bull elk 2013

Today, I finished paintings 7, 8 , 9 for the David Hueper family living in Blue Earth, MN and Graceville, MN. I enjoy working on the easel and is such a blessing to paint.

The last three paintings for Craig, this elk, called, ” Mystery Abounds In God’s Glory ”

The Pelican and Graceville, MN landscape for Becky and Grant called ” with honor they will be done ”

And the # Crosses are for Tammy and Roger called, ” Form the Heavens His majesty ”

I hope the family stay faithful and help one another in their current grief after the passing of David their father, and my wish for Ann, David’s wife, a very long and prosperous life with much good health.

This has a very familiar tone and I’ll start to prepare for November and December sales on eBay, many customers looking for my work, and since August I have not listed on eBay, so about 2 1/2 months and is not easy getting a lot of interest once letting the site cool off, O well back to work in the morning, w love and peace be yours.

Dear Ann,

God has blessed me in everyway possible and he has granted me the wisdom of painting and today I share this with you and your family, in Jesus name I pray for your life, that you continue to know that David is safe and loving heaven, and is with our Lord Jesus Christ, and in that day when we all come together what a feast we will have and talk about celebrations, such a welcome is hard to imagine here on earth as we know earth today.

This painting is called ” all knowing ” just like you this sow is very wise and a great mother too, the cubs are in the background and you do not see them but they are there, maybe you can visualize them, about 1/8 her size at this time. This is your black bear painting Ann, and I wish you peace and most of all love.

I have painted steadily for all of you, in honor of David Hueper your loving husband, he is not forgetting you or any in your family. I have met all your children and I can say they are the most beautiful adults, you and David are wonderful parents and the children are very respectful and honor you and David all the time. God is smiling for this is one of his just and loving commandments.

I am painting Grant and Becky and Tammy and Roger painting tomorrow, and Craig’s elk in the mountains I started today and will finish too in the morning.

Peace be yours and thank you and all your children for gifting me David’s walking cane made from diamond willow, such a blessing and I will always cherish and I will use when hiking in the mountains.

Peace, joy, happiness, and most of all Love.

What makes a Painting?

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.

” Birhthday Wishes ” To Mary Runestrand

The years come and the years go and father time keeps moving and as the sun rises each morning, God grants us the wisdom of the ages to live our life in abundance and  happiness, most importantly in freedom.

Mary has stood the test of time seeing WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, Iraq War and the list goes on and on, but most importantly since I have known her starting in 1995 until today, she has never said one word against me and while that doesn’t sound like much listen to how people talk about their own family let alone a son-in-law who is only related since being married to her daughter. I love Mary like my own mom, who has since passed away in August 2009 at the age of 89, just short of hitting 90 years of age, and that is awesome too.Mary’s prayers are heart felt and I know when she prays, they are soft and full of love for Marge and I, we both love her with all our hearts.

Happy Birthday next week on Sunday, October 27 th, Mary being 92 is just so wonderful and awesome, and we’ll celebrate and have a great time. Here is a painting that I am gifting to her, an original oil painting on a 9″ x 12″ x 3/8″ True Gesso panel, and is called, ” Noel” for the coming of Jesus and this orchid is a beautiful array of blossoms. Enjoy the most blessed day and may your day be filled with joy and much happiness.

Psalm 47, verses 1-4

” Come, everyone, and clap for joy! Shout triumphant praises to the Lord! For the Lord, the God above all gods, is awesome beyond words; he is the great King of all the earth. He subdues the nations before us, and will personally select his choicest blessings for his Jewish people — the very best for those he loves.”

Fruit of The Holy Spirit

When I sit around the studio and work on my painting, my process is very simple, or so it seems. My work is faith based and as a Christian, I do have a goof every once in a while, that does irk me. In reading this morning Paul’s teaching from Jesus in Galatians, Paul reminds me that the old Jewish Law does not apply, as such, in the current life, since Jesus came, and the fruits of listening to the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. By living now by the Holy Spirit’s power lead’s me in every part of my life. I have a few rough spots still after all this time, can you imagine that, still need to go through the refiners fire, yea I go by the grace of God. Hmmmm, just doing God’s work seems to be the best medicine to right my ship and not to worry about honors or popularity, they are very short lived, and can cause jealousy and hard feelings.

Best get back to painting today and to bless others, do for other as I would want done unto me, and just to live in peace and harmony.

David’s, ” A Lovely Poem of Praise”

Black Capped Chickadee-3-C-JES-PrintFor 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!!!

The Comforter Voice: John 14 Peace be yours too, w love and honor

Marriage Is About Truth

Posted on by

Since time began and as we leaned about Adam and Eve, truth is one of the cornerstones God is teaching us, he teaches us many lessons. We all know about speaking a little white lie or not coming clean when speaking to our spouse. Why? What prompts us to fudge with the one we love? Our word is important and what we say to our spouse matters. It all gets back to being a trusting and loving spouse. In Proverbs 6 Jesus shares the seven things God hates, and two of them relate to lying, so for me just saying like it is be right up front is ok, respect and understanding come from a communication that is built of truth. Love is marrying that person, consistently doing what is best for him or her, and staying faithful for the rest of your life.

The wildlife animals and the wild kingdom are true and faithful, they abide by God’s laws too or they would perish. Next year my sons Norm and Chris and Me are going elk hunting, in the rugged mountains, no luxury or electricity, just horses, no other people other than our hunting camp and so we will be in what I can say is the ” wilderness ” our whole way for that week is based on God and his majesty in all things and our very existence depends on listening to God. Keep posted and bless everyone you know and remember a stranger is only a friend you have not met yet. God speed and peace be yours. Most of all best wishes and may love abide.
