Happy Easter Hope
Wishing you, your loved ones, and your friends a Happy Easter! What was most memorable today for you?
Easter encapsulates family, friends, good eats, candy, Easter baskets, colored eggs, and a time to gather and fellowship with those who are important to you. Does this resonate with your celebration?
Today holds great significance for me as it is a reminder of Jesus Christ’s resurrection and his ultimate sacrifice for our sins. As an artist, I find inspiration in all of creation and having faith that is inseparable from my art. I strive to encompass joy, love and hope in my paintings as a reflection of God. I hope you also know the joy and love that comes from believing in Him.
Easter is a beautiful reminder of the hope and redemption we have through Christ’s resurrection three days after he was crucified. What an amazing gift to us! The victory of death is a remarkable gift that was bestowed upon us. By believing and accepting this act of agape love, we are granted a fresh start with a clean slate as white as snow.
As an artist, the inspiration an artist finds in life can come from many sources, and the gift of life itself is one of the most remarkable. Believing in the power of life over death can give us a fresh perspective and a renewed appreciation for the world around us, inspiring us to create beautiful works of art.
On this special day, it’s important to reflect on the message of hope and love that the resurrection brings. It is a reminder that no matter how difficult our circumstances may be, there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow.
As we celebrate Easter with our loved ones, let’s also take a moment to appreciate the blessings in our lives and to extend kindness and compassion to those around us. Whether it is through art, or our actions and words, let us spread love and joy to everyone we encounter. The perfect subject for me to paint for this special holiday is the Bald Knob Cross which can be found in Alto Pass, Illinois near where I grew up as a child. If you haven’t seen it in person, I highly recommend it. It resides on a beautiful piece of property with breathtaking views of Southern Illinois.
Again, Happy Easter!!! 😃 May this day bring you peace, happiness, and a renewed sense of hope.

John 11: 25-26 says, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”
