Swan Family-2-2014-JES

In September 2003 at Crex Meadows this amazing trumpeter swan family gave us quite a wonderful show. The adult male is E42 and his mate 82 K and the offspring, cygnets, are 3 with neck tags 24A, 26A, and 28A and the other two cygnets were not tagged, they were smart! This is an original oil, miniature painting on a 5″ x 7″ True Gesso hard board and will include a miniature wooden easel for mounting to display.

This painting will be listed on eBay later this week, and if you visit my FASO website you can also purchase there as well. With hope,

 

Best wishes,

Such an awesome day today, just getting up at 0500 AM is joyful after God’s grace yesterday and wonderful sleep to rest my body, not that I am a lumber jack, but my 110LB black lab, Bubby is a pretty good hand full during the day, but that too is such a joyful experience. Thank you Siren Covenant Church in Siren, WI, especially Pastor Ken and his wife Pam, expect a miracle on Friday

Not a lot of you out there are able to be as creative as your mind might be able to develop at this time in your life, but ME as a wildlife painter, I am blessed now with my new full time job, head of Springett Images LLC, to paint, to love, and to share my love of God with each of you in your daily lives. To me that is awesome, only In America, The Home Of The Free and The Brave, Amen!!! and while my art business is busy I always have time to help you, any of you in need. If I can paint for you in any way to help someone’s life just ask.

Have a wonderful day Stacey and Becky, both of you please bless and keep Jerri in your hearts, and Dave too, and their daughters too. Can you ask about her Thanksgiving Day plans? Is she coming with you Stacey? Or staying home, I can come and bring some food and joy to her family. If you please let me know soon. Bubba and I can come, in love and by the grace of Jesus, his name be blessed.

In Psalm 29 please read the beauty and love shown by the Lord,” Praise The Lord, you angels of his, praise his glory and his strength. Praise him for his majestic glory, the Glory of his name. Come before him clothed in sacred garments.” ” At the Flood, the Lord showed his control of all creation. Now he continues to unveil his power. He will give his people strength. He will bless them with peace.” I am in love with Jesus, more than the air I breath thank you Lord for every gift and for my loving friends near and far, and we Glorify Your Name Father, IN Jesus name we pray, full of wonder and we are in awe of your Power, saving all of us. WE pray your kingdom come here on earth as it is in heaven, yes, 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,

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.

Big Doctor Lake-1-C-JES

This painting is a commission I painted for a wonderful couple near Doctor Lake in Siren, WI only a few minutes from where Marge and I live in Webster, WI. We met Tom and Grace Haines at the Main Street Café, owned by Connie and if you come to our area you’ll be so happy to enjoy breakfast here. Tom and Grace are horse people too and love visiting TED Roosevelt National Park too and we have a lot in common and they appreciate the arts and I have helped them restore beautiful prints and to do this commission of this trumpeter swan family feeding and swimming on Doctor Lake in Siren, WI. Tom and Grace took this image and gave me a 4 x 6 print to study and then I used a True Gesso from Santa Fe NM, with my special coating and painted this autumn painting. Note the lead adult swan is the female(yep) and in the rear the adult father, with three grown cygnets in-between for protection. The cygnets at this point in  October can fly really well so the swans are prepared to migrate. I have observed the swans for a long time and from what I see they teach their young cygnets by example not by dictating and with people I find setting a god example and going softly with love is the best way.Everything the Lord created is love centered everything that Is Jesus cornerstone, love, not dictating.We might need to relearn this and soon, so our children are being cared for more with love and honor than by authority. When using a love based way to teach the child is open and can learn the fastest and the learning process is made more fun and the children excel and thrive in love compared to authority.

Thank you Tom and Grace for sharing an image that I so love to paint for you and I feel so blessed to have the honor to paint for my friends.

I’d like to say hi to the Hueper family, David and Ann of Blue Earth,MN. David you are a wonderful father, grandfather and husband, and my close friend. We visited today in your quiet slumber as God is putting his love to work and helping to heal your body. Our VA Hospital in Minneapolis is a very loving body of people doing God’s work here on earth and faithfully helping many of our veterans and I visited with Tim, your nurse David, and he is an awesome man doing a very honorable job for a very honorable man, you David. Peace be yours and rest, and this weekend celebrate with your family now is the time you are not in the grave, and Stacey says Ann is bringing some of your favorite food, yummy. I am going to travel to Theodore Roosevelt National park for a few days and when I get back, David I am coming to see you and your whole family, I am bringing something special for you, but rest now and start eating.

Before I finish my post today, I want to Praise God for all his love and faithfulness to our people, we the people here In America and all around the earth.

When I got to the VA Hospital I had written David Rueper, and the Visitors Desk said there is no one here by that name so I called his family, his daughter Stacey and I goofed his name is Hueper, and then I made my way to his room. I was impressed, and very aware of the nature of this healing place and the people who dedicate their lives sometimes 24/7 to save a veteran. God loves his people and they are following his mandate to love one another. Wonderful.

I think this gentleman from Birmingham,AL who wrote this just might be a father like David,Craig and Me, and there is a good possibility he is a veteran too. Here is his Story ,Titled ” Our Soldier” and goes something like this,:

” Out of the family, only one stood up, and raised his hand,To protect the weak, the poor, and the rest of us across this land.

Searching for discipline and trust,he works to learn,what the rest of the world, Expects from us.

Scared he goes, where he’s ordered to, each day he prepares to see the mission through.

We pray for him, because he’s Blood, Family, and Friends, Together forever,WE send him our Love.” His name is Donald Carrie(thank you Sir, Yes Sir Thank You)

David and Ann, enjoy your celebration this weekend, and just know that our loving God is caring for each of us and you are a favorite son, peace and ” Mankato” we will visit in a few days. God loves you, peace, with love and honor sir,
