Buckaroo Cowboy

9 X 12 Oil on canvas panel
$100 includes shipping and insurance U.S.
Did you know that the I-Phone 6 will make time-lapse movies? Three years ago I looked high and low for a camera that would do that, and I found my little Canon G9 on Ebay for $100. Best buy I ever made - the camera is indestructible, has a bunch of features and is small enough to tote without getting in the way. And now the I-Phone 6 does the same AND MORE! And the image quality is not-to-believe. Sigh.
This is my first, very amateurish attempt using the phone. I didn't paint the background on camera, but I filmed enough of it for you to get the idea. This is only 23 seconds long - the actual painting took about 30 minutes - a REAL quickie. I used a lot of paint, too. Fun fun fun!



Ezra 5:11  This is the answer they gave us: “We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the temple that was built many years ago, one that a great king of Israel built and finished."

Haitian Man of Steel - Haiti Portrait by Debbie Grayson Lincoln


9 X 12 Oil on gessoed board $125
Includes shipping and insurance U.S.
Mike came into the studio this afternoon, viewed this painting and commented, "You're thinking about Haiti again." He is right. I am.
Haiti not only needs me, I feel the need to see it again. A number of things have changed since I was there last -  most notably a new administration - and I am curious if the promises have been kept and progress has been made. I do know I have seen more evidence of Haitian exports - especially art. Haiti is poor geologically speaking, but very rich in "people resources". Not only are Haitians hard working and crazily optimistic, but they also possess phenomenal artistic souls. Additionally they are spectacularly beautiful and healthy people, and the children are delights. What's not to love?
This gentleman worked tirelessly laying brick on the first project I attended, with very few breaks and in sun that would scorch a horned lizard. He also took communion with us the last day and gave himself to Christ. It was awesome.
And, yes, I want to go back.
2 Corithians 1:20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.

Quaking Child of Haiti


12 X 16 oil on canvas board 
$150 includes shipping U.S.
I have been to Haiti twice, post earthquake, on mission trips to rebuild churches. It's been two years since my last effort, and I am feeling the tugs on my heart to hug the children again.
My own grandchildren are brilliant and beautiful and cared for and loved and SAFE. They have every chance for educated, enlightened and productive lives.  Not so the children of Haiti, and it hurts my heart to know that. Especially when they desire so much and are so willing to work for for it. I must go back.
Matthew 19:14   Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
