I hesitated to say what my first impressions were when I saw your painting because I don't want to sound like someone who spiritualizes everything, because I do enjoy your talent and the beauty of your work; but my first impression was that I saw Jesus as our Rock in the rocks, as our Light in the lighthouse, and as the Water of Life in the lake in the background. There is also a song that comes to mind; it is a secular song but to me it has spiritual significance: "I can see clearly now, the rain is gone. I can see all obstacles in my way. I can see clearly now, the rain is gone. It's gonna be a bright, bright, sunshiney day." Your painting says that to me when I look at the clear, bright, blue sky.

I love your work, Donna Marie. I will always be a fan. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!!
