A silent auction was recently held in Roswell with proceeds for building Habitat homes in metro Atlanta.
I donated 8 paintings for the 21st Annual Taste of Habitat Fundraising Event held Sept. 12, 2025, at St. David’s Episcopal Church in Roswell.
The goal was to raise $40,000 to build Habitat homes in Metro Atlanta. More than 50 fabulous chefs from the Lutheran Coalition for Habitat churches shared their favorite foods too. It was a fun “date night” with outstanding food & drink, great fellowship and most enjoyable live music. There was a Silent Auction, that included my paintings, and a trivia contest!
Below are my paintings that were up for bid.
Red Sky At Night (24×30″)
Trees among the red sky at night.
Modeling Clay Experiment (20×24″)
My first attempt at using modeling clay on a canvas. This was an experiment in using modeling clay to add to a painting’s detail. I found visions within the clay, outlined them, painted them and detailed them out.
What do you see?
Kingdom of Heaven is Like (18×24″)
From a sermon reading of Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52, Be Thou My Vision (Hymn), 1 Kings 3:5-12, Psalm 119:129-136, and Romans 8:26-39.
The Modern Sharpie (11×17″)
This modern art piece took just two hours to complete. It is drawn with with colored sharpies.
This is my latest pour, which can be viewed in any direction. (16×20″)
An acrylic pour of a Pink Moon with a painted foreground and background. We had a Pink Moon April 12-13, which was the fourth full moon of 2025 and the first full moon of spring. More info on the inspiration for this painting is detailed on my Process page at this link. (16×14″)
Alien Bug In Space (24×36″)
Pour of multiple colors. First thing that appeared was a red alien bug in the pour. I then did an overpaint of a night scene behind the bug. Look for the hidden rockstar!
Spiritual Sicily (36×24″)
This is an acrylic painting of a spiritual theme in one of Tarn Eyl’s classes. It started off as just the center painting, which was supposed to be of Lucia that I saw on a building in Sicily. It morphed into 3 paintings of other scenes I found in Sicilian churches during a trip there in 2024. The figures are photographs that I glued onto the canvas and detailed around them.
