He is risen!

On this beautiful Easter weekend I want to share with you this beautiful video about our Savior.  I am so thankful for Him and his sacrifice for all of us. I know that because He lives, our lives can be beautiful and happy.

In Russia we have a beautiful tradition on Easter.  We greet each other with "Christ is risen" and the other person  replies "Truly, He is risen".  I love that tradition.  And I believe that He has risen and one day will come again.

First Impressions Painting Two Sense and Sensibility

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

This is a first of painting in the "First Impressions" series of paintings I am working on right now.  I plan to have one for each of Jane Austen's works.  On this piece you can see Mr.Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet and the opening line of Pride and Prejudice.

Elizabeth in Kent

This is a painting of Elizabeth Bennet at Kent (Rosings and Collinses) on the morning after Mr.Darcy's proposal. She is taking a walk in the park and is about to be presented with a special letter from Mr.Darcy.
