2020-2021 UNFINISHED OIL PAINTING

 

We have had stranger than usual weather. Winters are always interesting in southern Missouri with snow and cold but nothing like it has been the past few days. I was concerned driving home after work on Monday evening because we were experiencing below or close to below zero weather with snow. The road that I live on is covered with deep snow and I have not seen or heard anyone drive past. So, I stayed home today. What is a woman to do with a full day off? What do you think? I paint.


2020-2021 UNFINISHED OIL PAINTING


I started this painting back in December thinking I would find time to paint occasionally however, with winter here and taking care of a wood-burning stove while having a full-time job took all my time. Anyway, I thought I would share a few photos of my unfinished painting. Please remember that this painting is still in the beginning stage and, with a little tender love and care, it will get better.

 

I hope to spend more time painting when the weather gets better, a time when I do not have to bring in wood and empty the ashes every evening. Until then, I hope this will give you an idea of what the finished canvas will look like.

 

I want to let you know that my prayers are for all people going through difficulties. It could be because of the weather, the virus, or any other situation. Please understand that I pray for you every night.

 

With love,

Laveda D. Rockford

The Path | Laveda D. Rockford

The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. (Proverbs 4:18)   The Path My days are filled with work. I work full time, caring for the lawn, flower garden, and I am a painter of oil on canvas, as well as a writer and blogger. I am Laveda D. Rockford. My Mother, her doctors say, is in stage four cancer and has been since 2015. However, we are blessed that she can still do a lot of things on her own. In fact, I took her to see my brother in Texas and she will be staying with him for a while. Her next injections are not until later this month. I have not had time to write even though I have started my third book. The publisher that I contacted to publish my second book gave me an estimate but when I was ready to pay, they did not contact me again. I am wondering about this as I do have the funds and would like to begin. If you know of a publisher that is interested in a Christian novel, please send me the information so I c...

Ready For This | Laveda D. Rockford

  Ready for This Winter is shortly coming to an end, When spring colors do appear, What wonderful sights you see in shrubs and trees, Flowers of white, red, and yellow, with leaves of green, Shouts the joys of the spring, Singing loud before summers day, Oh, it is a wonderful day, When the earth wakes from sleep. © 2024 Laveda D.

Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford

  Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford I am trying my best in the heat of early summer to complete my flower garden borders. I have been working on this vision for almost two years and have finally reached a point where I can show you and you can understand. The newest section will contain a small patio area with table and chairs surrounded on one side with Buxus as a screen of privacy. Burgundy Plum and Cherry trees, as well as Sand Cherry and a few tulips will welcome spring weather. Then Iris will rise up until they burst into their beauty. Purple, yellow, and a burgundy and white combination. Oh, what a delight. Late spring into summer, Yarrow (Achillea) rise higher and throw on their crown of flowers acting as a forerunner into summer’s beauty. Phlox, Whirling Butterflies (Gaura) purple Salvia, Shasta Daisy, Hydrangea and Clematis all vie for attention in the summer sun. The Rose of Sharon, single and double, tree and bush, will bring forth their beaut...
