"The title letters of Master Carpenter Prayer were drawn to be a knotty, gnarly, rough texture like wood. An edged pen was used to write the smaller Foundational style letters. I was thinking of angular, hand-forged nail hardware as I tweaked each letter with a smaller pen to make the edges rough-hewn."

"The book of Psalms is the Bible’s hymnal, an anthology of poetic prayers and praises composed during many centuries of worship in Israel. It’s a privilege to use these ancient words today. The psalmist’s heart, touched by God’s redeeming grace, continues to pour truth into our lives in these days. I am thankful for parents and grandparents telling of the Lord's greatness and goodness that goes from ‘one generation to another'. Delight yourself in the Lord!"

"Psalm 139 verses 3 and 4 are especially fitting for welcoming a new baby or celebrating a child’s birthday. Thanks be to our God for his amazingly intricate and precious creative work. All 24 verses of Psalm 139 are packed with inspiring insights into God’s love, nature, and work. God has deep knowledge of us; we are fully known by him because he made us. We are never alone. We are wonderfully made. The psalmist, overwhelmed with God’s love and work, wants to honor and serve him. Verses 23 and 24 are perhaps the best known."

"Painting layers of color on the leaves and grapes to gradually reveal their structure and the play of light and shadows was very relaxing. Before painting the Arches cold press paper, I gathered leaves and painted watercolor on the vein side, then pressed them on wet paper. More watercolor was applied to the wet paper and wax paper ‘grapes’ were pressed on the paper in ‘grape’ clusters. The wet paper with the leaves and wax paper was then left to dry completely. When dry, the leaves and wax paper were lifted off to reveal the basic design. Finally, painting one layer after another gradually builds depth and definition in the image."

"Watercolor and pens and brush were used on Indian watercolor paper. This familiar text, from 1 Corinthians 13 on the nature of love, is truth for us today as much as it was for the Corinthians. A life spent treasuring the love that God and Jesus Christ have for us brings depth of purpose, blessing and joy in our life and relationships."
