Called ” Love Abides “

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

For Each Of You, Our Veterans-God’s Soldiers,The Faithful

Blackeye susans-3

 

bouquet-3-C

 

NV foal-4

The good news is upon all of us, regardless of today’s press, I know that God is on our side, Amen!!! The 3 exclamation marks mean The Father, Son and Holy Ghost, now once you see that I do not have to write it out each time, Amen !!! see how easy that is.

You probably think what is Jimmy doing with these 3 images today, 2 Black Eye Susan, cut mums in a vase and a young foal just starting life, what do they all have in common, is there a common denominator in all this? And how do Veterans fit into this type of story, why does Jimmy keep blessing the veterans, why o why? Isn’t it better to bring things to light while there is time, and if you recall what happened to Humpty Dumpty.

I have many, many friends near and far and this is possibly the beginning of one of my most important stories in a month. Abiding in God’s love and go where he calls seems easy enough, but how many of you listen and go do as the soft voice of the Lord ask of you? I guarantee will change your life for the better, trust your inner voice and the first impression is the correct one, don’t let that SOB of a negative critic jump in there, shut’em down right on the spot, and go do your first order that came to you, you’ll start to know that God is in charge once you do.

Getting back to the story at hand, you say Jimmy I do not have all day to read this long winded blog, ok take your time and spend 1 minute today and 1 minute tomorrow, however long, where are you going to be in such a hurry, but in no time you will learn and get the message, no need to rush we have all eternity, Jesus is in control of time now and for ever more and I thank God for his eternal message and while Heaven is awesome, he has asked me to come to earth to abide in love and kindness, no matter how the wind blows, and like our fellow veterans, having spent 6 years in the Army, every Veteran knows how the winds blow while serving, whew and how the wind continues to blow for our veterans. The Lord as our Commander in Chief has already paid our ransom in red blood, on the cross, so I thank you Jesus for this love to save me and all people everywhere regardless of their accepting Jesus, Jesus is still Lord over all, no exceptions, not even one.

Two Scriptures today, 1. Colossians Chapter 1, verse 12 and Jeremiah Chapter 17, verse 7.

This is easy to remember: What the Word FORGET really means”

F-faithful

O-omnipotent Father

R-Royal

G-gratitude

E-everlasting love

T-thanks Be

Now back to the 3 paintings, the Black Eye Susan, mums, and young foal. Any guesses, probably a few?

Like the human race we are sort of in the fall or autumn of and moving toward winter. The Black Eye Susan common wildflower gracing our fields in late summer has the very deep purples and yellow, there are 2 of them. In the mums there are 3 white blossoms in a green vase and the young foal having been just born in the spring in May reminds me that new life continues to come faithfully not listen to the critic, who would try to convince there is no reason, since everything eventually dies, but remember this is the Lord’s Earth, that he created and everything in the air, water and earth and we are to celebrate his gift of life, to live abundantly and when things get tough, I defer immediately to Jesus and in his name all is possible.

The first painting 2 flowers the second painting 3 flowers so that is 23, and Psalm 23 comes to mind, and the foal with 4 legs reminds me of all living things are possible because of, 3 in 1-!!! and every living thing is connected to !!! making 4 in 1, hence the 4 legs that hold the grown horse to the earth are possible because of God.

May everyone have peace and love, and If I can paint for you speak up, I love to work.

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.

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!!!

“Praise Our God”

“All you His Servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!”

It wasn’t that long ago I was working at 3M and for 35 years, I love this company and so many wonderful people, putting on their garb, hats of work, so to speak and make their daily bread. And The Nation and 3M Company and the people prosper, not because they are clever or know how to make widgets that outsmart the competition, but WilliamMcKnight was a man of God and he cared for his people and his company in a way that was very different from the authority approach of earlier years of Industry in America. McKnight was a man of vision and loved the Lord and when you are a part of a company like 3M for close to 40 years and still ticking there is a lot of good happening and money is not the actual goal, but the result of abiding by God’s law and God is the provider, not us, we are his people and doing his work.

Have a great day 3M and you continue to bear fruit by your actions and God Bless all the people who make 3M the company that so many have come to love. The 3M Brand is for the people, by the people of the people.

I want to say a pray for you and for my friend David who is a veteran and now in the VA hospital, a courageous man, loving, kind and compassionate man, not too much different from all you men at 3M, just for a moment, give pause and share your love with the Hueper family. I’ll be going to the VA Hospital Today, and if any of you want to come you come, the room is small but there is plenty of room to gather by his side.

This painting is for all of you at 3M and is a special day, the Fall Harvest and this is a day of Thanksgiving to each of you, may you enjoy your work and Know that God love you. Peace. Jimmy Springett-wildlife painter

This is called, “a brighter day ”

Our VA Hospitals And God’s Children, To Honor and To Love

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,

Purple Mountains Majesty In Wyoming USA

Grand Tetaons Landscape-JES-3

Marge and I traveled to Cody, WY and then traveled through Yellowstone national park into Jackson Hole, WY to visit the National Wildlife Museum.

This is an original oil painting on a specially coated 9″ x 12″ stretched canvas and is currently in a private collection. These beautiful Grand Teton Mountains are so awesome that I felt this painting would convey to people how I feel about America, The Beautiful, Home of the Brave and The Free, One Nation Under God, Indivisible With Liberty and Justice For All, America, America, I am very grateful to be sharing my work with our people, and friends.

Have a great day and may God bless and keep you, in your going out and in your coming back. Peace.
