SUPERMAN'S MOM by Liz Lemon Swindle

SUPERMAN'S  MOM
Last week I fought a dragon strong
Then climbed a castle wall.
Too bad I fell from off the roof
Mom's flowers broke my fall.

Then yesterday, I sailed to sea
The pirates at the door.
Too bad the tub was just too small
To keep the ocean off the floor.

Today, I launched a rocket to
The moon for mom to see.
Too bad the wheel came flying off
And so I skinned my knee.

But mom was there to pick me up
And make me feel alright.
Then send me out to save the world
And put my cape on tight.


This is a new piece by Liz Lemon Swindle and a compliment to her painting a few years ago "Superman's Dad".  It is quite a sweet piece.  Remember that you can shop on line by going to the Shop bar in the middle of the page.  Or you can call the gallery  801-296-0718

 When Peter saw the Savior walking on the water he cried out, "Lord…bid me come unto thee."

"Come." was all He said.

Filled with faith, Peter stepped from the safety of the boat on to the stormy sea. But as the winds picked up and the waves grew stronger Peter’s faith turned to fear. As he began to sink, Peter cried out, "Lord, save me."

Two thousand years later, Christ is still calling to us. As we step from the safety of self-reliance on to the stormy seas of discipleship, like Peter we pray, "Lord, save me."

With perfect calmness He stills the winds of our doubt, reaches down from heaven and saves us.

This painting is titled "Against The Wind".  It is available as a 5x7 matted print or a larger canvas.

NEW Painting by JAMES CHRISTENSEN


James Christensen has come through again with a playful new painting.
The Chess Match as imagined by James, the professor of the imagination, have characters who are very passionate about the game.

The Queens are the most powerful players on the board. The kings, being slightly less so, have compensated for their diminutive stature with rather tall thrones.

This delightful giclee is offered in different sizes. Call us for more information. 801-296-0718.
