Painting on Two Surfaces | Laveda D. Rockford

 


Painting on Two Surfaces

As you know I have been painting an oil painting and I want to show you the progress. I love how the flowers reflect on the water as well as the trees. What a joy it is to paint water and make it look like a reflection that I have seen so many times. I must give God the glory for all of my progress when painting. As for that matter, I give God all the glory of any and all of my blessings. Life is not easy, but I still know that God loves me. No matter what happens in this world, God loves me as well as you. Never forget that! 

Previously, when I was spending a little time looking at items to buy with a couple of gift cards that I received for Christmas, I found little glass balls on the discount table. I could not resist purchasing them because I have thought for the last few years to check my talent against them. With a little patience, I have come to like working with glass. Here is a photo of the project in process. In other words, this is not the finished product yet. But what promise it holds.    

I know that life is difficult, but hold on, we have not arrived yet. To arrive means that you have reached your final destination. What your final destination is what is most important. May God bless you all and keep you from now unto ever.

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...
