PAINTING UPDATE | LAVEDA D. ROCKFORD

When painting an oil painting, detail can be daunting. No matter how much you try, it could sink or get lost in the painting itself. I worked on details of the stone walls on either side of the road. It turned out quite nicely. I thought it would be fun to share a few photos before I go back to work. I will not have as much time to paint then.

Painting is creating and/or capturing a moment. A swipe of the brush, in multiple directions, or a dab here and a dab there, fills the canvas with an assortment of color to resemble a subject. It is not as easy as you think. When you see some of the masterpieces in a museum, you admire the artists for the time and talent that it took to lay the scene in such a way that takes your breath away. I know that I could not be considered a talented artist yet, but if I keep practicing, you never know what my future may hold.

Details are the tiny little items that you find inside a painting that amaze you. While looking at a landscape scene, green and lush, you find a flower out on its own. You look closely and then you wonder why the artist included that lonely specimen. You scan the painting for quite a while looking for any other delightful things and sometimes you might be surprised to find more than one. This reason is why I enjoy painting. Here are a few more photos of my painting, ‘My Cup Runneth Over’.

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...
