Latest Works in 2008

Welcome!

PLEASE CHECK THE LAST PAGE FOR MY LATEST WORKS ...

This website is a display of my chalk pastel, charcoal and a few other medium drawings.  All my work is drawing and although others have believed that drawing is the foundation of the next step of working with paints - I do not believe that.  I enjoy drawing the best.  I do not have any desire to paint.  I also think that working with pastels is the closest there is to heaven - there is the color aspect and that's great - and the control of the line.  I really enjoy pastels.

I absolutely love the spitz breeds.  They are the breeds with the erect ears.  Right here are two of them.  Trooper to the right and below here is Tisha.  Tisha was my first purebred dog.  She was to be my foundational Alaskan Malamute female.  But that never happened.  She was accidently bred to a dog in the neighborhood just before my 1st hubby was killed and along with the grief of his death - I got to take care of about 7 puppies.  One died upon birth.  Tisha was the best mom and she cared for those puppies very well.

This is a 'thank you' from the owner of Sydney:
"Yes he loved it and has it set out carefully to try and find a frame for it so he can hang it on the wall.  We have  one wall designated for our critters. Thank You Bevinne it was so thoughtful of you!  Love L."

This is a charcoal pencil work. Black and White.

John 14:1-6

"Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.  In My Father's hours are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.  If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I AM, there you may be also.  And I you know the way where I AM going." (spoken to disciples)

This painting reminds me of heaven and it was such fun to paint.  I hope you like it.  I believe heaven is much better, but the blue and white in this work is very pleasing to me. 

 

Not many believe that heaven exists ... but this painting proves it does. How?  Because such beauty can not exist in the heart of man (who created the swans in the first place on this house) or woman without the existence of the literal existence of God and a place called heaven.

The most handsome dog in the world ...
