Almost Heaven Nothing restores the spirit quite like a breathtaking mountain vista. It just doesn't get much better than it is for this fisherman in Almost Heaven. I love to fish, not so much for the strike or the catch, but simply because fishing gives me license to get out into nature. |

The Aspen Chapel
A grove of aspens high in the mountains would be an idyllic place for worship. I have imagined just such a church in The Aspen Chapel where aspen trees shimmer in the breeze like liquid gold. |

Cape Hatteras Light Cape Hatteras Light glories in the majestic light of sunset. The elegant simplicity of the soaring black and white tower rises dramatically against the turbulent evening sky. Soon this glorious glow in the heavens will fade, and the lighthouse will send its searching finger of light far out into the Atlantic. |

Clocktower Cottage Clocktower Cottage is a meditation on the nature of time. Two events inspired the painting: the birth of a friend's baby, followed by a visit to a dear old man, who calmly told me we would probably not meet again in this life. I was struck by how, from first breath to last we are enmeshed in the mystery of time. |

Evening Majesty The glory of wilderness extends beyond the domain of daylight. In my first two collections celebrating the majesty of mountains, we rejoiced at the beginning and the end of a perfect day. Now, as we bid a fond adieu to the twentieth century, we move on, appropriately, to savor the pleasures of evening. |

Everett's Cottage In a dream I walked a fragrant path, and emerged through a gate to see a garden that loved me. My blooms surrounded me, and I tended them with care because I loved them. Perhaps a family is like that garden; each child a delicate rose that with the nurturing of a gardener can flourish and bring beauty to the world. Our newest little "bloom" is our daughter Everett. On her first birthday, I present this garden, and this cottage, in her honor! |

The Light of Freedom For my painting The Light of Freedom, I turned once again to my faith in God, my love for my fellow man, and my pride in America and what we stand for. The billowy clouds in the heavens remind us that despite our challenges, God surely has shed His grace on this land. Now is the time when each of us must summon our courage and strength so that, the Light of Freedom will forever illuminate this glorious country. God bless America. |

A Holiday Gathering Of all the holiday rituals, the one I prize the most is the coming together of loved ones in shared celebration. Even if our family circle is small, the Christmas season can become a benchmark of friendship; a time when we pause to savor traditions of comfort and joy. |

Hometown Morning I think that in my Hometown Memories collection, I've established¡Xat least to my own satisfaction¡Xthat you can go home again. Perhaps not with a boy's innocence and enthusiasm, but certainly with an adult's fond memories and deep appreciation for the gifts of community, of belonging, of shared values and dreams that are the essence of the hometown experience. Hometown Morning is the sixth and final look at the hometown of my boyhood¡Xand, I hope, at some of the things you remember most warmly about your hometown as well. |

Hometown Pride In "Hometown Pride," I'm trying to evoke the very essence of the American dream -the peace and precious freedoms that continue to be our birthright. In his celebrated Four Freedoms paintings, Norman Rockwell recognizes Freedom from Fear as one of the cardinal protections Americans enjoy. That is the spirit-the message if you will-of this proud painting. |

Hour of Prayer The Hour of Prayer anticipates the dawning of a Peaceful Kingdom when time will be no more and prayer will be a direct communion with the divine. Until then, we must content ourselves with such glimpses of immortality as can be found in the Garden of Prayer, which exists in the hearts of the faithful. |

Lamplight Manor In Lamplight Manor, sixth in the Lamplight Lane series, the brooke Windemer takes us to a rustic treasure hidden away in England's quaint Cotswolds ¡X a magnificent manor house. How I would enjoy a private tour of house and grounds: the sweeping spiral staircases, the luxurious tapestries, and the dignified library. As the scripture from the Gospel of John suggests, such tasteful opulence has a place in the house of our Lord. Here we can anticipate the glory that awaits the children of God in heaven. |

Lilac Cottage An artist works with all his senses. It might not seem that painting has anything to do with the sense of smell, but in the case of Lilac Cottage, it does.The 4th issue in the Flower Cottages of Carmel collection is inspired by a real cottage I discovered amidst an overgrown garden in Carmel, but more than that, it is my attempt to evoke the heady perfume of lilacs. |

San Francisco, Lombard Street This is a golden evening; the warm glow of sunset banishes the mist and paints the busy street with its cheerful light. The exuberance of city life is everywhere evident. On Lombard Street, on an evening such as this, life is a gala celebration of the endless possibilities of city life. I invite you to celebrate with me. |

The Village Lighthouse The Village Lighthouse portrays a village nestled into a rocky shore that I discovered on a seaside stroll in England. The stalwart cottages are built of the same granite that rises in cliffs from the sea. A radiant glow bathes the village, touching the magnificent flowering dogwood and lavish stands of foxgloves and impatiens with light, just as it illuminates the waves that dance over the ocean. Wisps of spray rise from the waves while plumes of smoke ascend from the chimneys. Land and sea, man and nature are in perfect harmony here. |

Sunset At Riverbend Farm Sunset at Riverbend Farm, my first published depiction of a working farm, and the initial print in my Riverbend Farm collection is a lovely pastoral. This picture of peace and prosperity is enlivened by milling cows returning to the barn at evening, and flocks of geese and ducks that ford the pristine stream. |

Beyond Summer Gate Summer is the season of color. The full range of nature's rainbow hues are on display in this floral paradise. In Beyond Summer Gate I've compressed the season, allowing the early-flowering dogwood and the late blooming azalea to display their brilliant blossoms together. The tranquility of evening has settled on this country manor, inviting us to stroll the grounds before we settle in for some tea and talk. I hope you will join me. |

Split Rock Light I am intrigued by lighthouses. Erected in locations of great peril, they often stand in settings of remarkable beauty and drama as well. Where nature is most powerful, it can also be most majestic. |

Silver and Gold Silver and Gold is the first still life I've ever shared with my collectors. This exquisite assemblage of golden blooms in an elegant silver vase gives me the sense of exuberant repose that I get from my most satisfying landscapes. In fact, I treat this still life as a landscape in miniature. |

The Good Shepherd's Cottage "The Good Shepherd's Cottage" is an allegory in paint, an image of the Lord returning to call His faithful. His house is an utterly comfortable and secure cottage, radiant with light. The air is luminous with sunset; the sound of His voice thrilling as He calls His sheep into a verdant meadow. |

Memories of Christmas Christmas is the Season of Light, and the hue that permeates Memories of Christmas is the rosy glow of sunset. The nostalgic vision of life is often described as seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. This celebration of community, set in simpler times, near the start of the 20th Century, is perhaps best viewed through such tinted lenses! |
