Multnomah Mermaid

I try being serious and before I know it I'm drawing a mermaid with the Vista House on her head. I believe every body of water should have it's own mermaid, so I'll be assigning this one to Multnomah Falls...and maybe to my friend Jan who raises lavender.

Unity

My church (clearcreek.org) is doing a summer series on the book of Ephesians.
And, bless their hearts, they are trying to feature the work of some of the church's
visual artists. So, this is the piece I will be submitting for their use. It's different for
me in some ways, and in others not. I've always used symbolism in my work...
granted not usually in such simple forms as this. But the idea came, stayed and
got itself on a canvas. The collage areas are from the same old Bible that belonged
to my precious mother-in-law. Old and worn and stained up pretty well...kind of
like a lot of us. And now being renewed. Like a lot of us. I'm happy with it. Hope
it works in the context it's intended for.
