PLEASE STAND UP!

 
"UPSIDE DOWN AND ALL AROUND"
 
 
 
PLEASE STAND UP!
 
THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT I ASK YOU TO STRAIGHTEN YOURSELF UP AND STAND UP.
 
I'M BEGGING YOU TO TURN YOURSELF OVER
AND
STAND UP!
 
YOU CAN'T STAY CAPSIZED, FLOATING IN NEVER NEVER LAND FOREVER!
 
YOU ARE CURRENTLY UPSIDE DOWN AND YOU
 
MUST
STAND UP!
 
STAND UP
TAKE ONE STEP FORWARD
AND FOR SURE OPEN YOUR EYES
AND YOU'LL SEE THAT
NEGATIVE PEOPLE
NEGATIVE POLITICS
NEGATIVE PERSONAL POINTS OF VIEW
CANNOT AND WILL NOT ALTER THE JOY THAT YOU
EXPERIENCE EACH DAY THAT YOU ARE ALIVE
AND ON THIS EARTH.
 
PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A CREATOR LOOKING DOWN AT YOU
WHO IS OBSERVING YOUR LIFE AND THOUGHTS
 
HE ONLY HAS ONE DESIRE
THAT YOU LOVE HIM
AND
FOLLOW HIM WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART.
 
YES, JESUS IS THE WAY
AND THE ONLY WAY.
 
- HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY
VERONICA

A NEVER ENDING JOURNEY...

HURRY BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!
 
Ever since I was a child, texture, color and design were my inspiration.
 
As an adult this motivation has never ceased.  But my primary motivation to draw is to experience the final second when I can actually declare that the painting is finished.
 
This factor gives me the desire to never stop creating.  I believe that my art is inspired by the Holy Spirit.  Sometimes the outcome is fun and whimsical, intriguing, but when that perfect inspirational nugget is revealed, I stop and marvel at my Oh Mighty God. 
 
God is a creator, God is humorous, artistic, and God is my everlasting JOY!
This is why I paint.  Art for me is a never ending journey through my brief life on earth.  Art is the essence of pausing on that journey to observe the perfect creation that my Abba Father created.

REMEMBER OUR HEROES...BUT..TAKE CARE OF THEM!

 
 
 
GET OFF MY BACK!
6"x6"
 

I PRAY FOR OUR MILITARY.
 
I UNDERSTAND THAT
THEY NOT ONLY HAVE TO ENDURE
WAR,
MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL INJURY,
 
BUT
 
THEY ARE NOW SUFFERING FROM
SEXUAL ABUSE!
 
WITH THE ADVENT OF MIXING THE HETEROSEXUAL POPULATION WITH THE GAY POPULATION, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE HETEROSEXUALS ARE BEING RAPED!
 
IS THIS TRUE?
THIS SHOCKING REVELATION PROMPTED ME TO
RESPOND TO THE PUBLIC.
 
IF THIS IS TRUE, I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THESE SUFFERING HEROES HAVE HAD TO ENDURE.
WHO DO THEY GO TO?
I'M SURE THAT IT IS EMBARRASSING TO APPROACH THEIR SUPERIORS RE THE ABOVE.
 
PLEASE, PLEASE,
 CAN'T WE ALL RESPECT EACH OTHER?
 
IN ADDITION TO THE POSSIBLE SEXUAL ABUSE,
WHAT ABOUT THE MULTIPLE EXPERIMENTAL SHOTS THAT THEY MUST ENDURE?
 
ARE OUR SUFFERING HEROES REALLY BEING USED AS GUINEA PIGS?
 
DOES OUR GOVERNMENT REALLY CARE ABOUT PROTECTING THEIR ENTIRE WELL BEING?
 
SOLUTION: 
ELECT A CONGRESS/PRESIDENT
THAT CARES.
 
WE THE PEOPLE LOVE YOU MILITARY...
MAY GOD BLESS YOU
AND
MAY HE ALSO GIVE THE PEOPLE
THE WISDOM TO
CHOOSE LEADERSHIP THAT WILL
LOVE
AND
PROTECT YOU.
 
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

WHO ARE YOU? (Nephilim)

 
 
 
Who Are You?
8x10"
Crayon/Ink
 
 
 
Once upon a time
a child and father existed.
They were a new race during the time of Noah.
They were the children of fallen angels (demons) and female humans.
 
Yes, believe it or not
there were Nephilim on the earth
during the time of Noah
and
after the flood.
 
This little fella looks fat and cute
but
he really isn't.
 
The Nephilim grew possibly up to 30' tall,
they were very intelligent
but engaged in horrendous acts of sin.
 
They were frightening to all
and
there are legends throughout the world
that talk about the giants (Nephilim).
By the way, the Bible references giants too.
 
L.A. Marzulli is an incredible researcher/author, etc.
and
he specializes in researching the Nephilim.
 
Very interesting indeed...
you'd be surprised what you will find
once you begin
your own journey to the
 
TRUTH!

SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS TO ANXIETY, FEAR, EMPTYNESS...?



 
UPSIDE DOWN AND ALL AROUND
 
 
 
ANXIETY
BROKENNESS
CONFUSION
DEATH
EMPTINESS
GUILT
ILLNESS
SHAME
ETC.
 
HOW MANY TIMES WOULD I HAVE LOVED
FOR SOMEONE TO TELL ME WHERE TO GO
WHEN I FELT
FEARFUL,
EMPTY,
AND
 CONFUSED ABOUT MY EXISTENCE.
 
I EVEN USED TO GET ANGRY AT THE CHRISTIANS BECAUSE
I WOULD ASK MYSELF
WHERE ARE THESE SO CALLED CHRISTIANS?
WHY ARE THEY NOT HELPING ME WHEN I NEED THEM...
AND
THEN I WOULD CALL THEM HYPOCRITES!
 
THESE ARE HARSH WORDS FROM ME NOW.
I FOUND MY TRUE LOVE FOR JESUS
AND
I NO LONGER FEEL EMPTY AT ALL.
 
I FOUND AN EXCELLENT SITE THAT WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.
IT'S WONDERFUL AND IT IS THERE WAITING FOR YOU TO CLICK INTO THE LINK:
 
 
** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **
 
THE PAINTING "UPSIDE DOWN AND ALL AROUND" IS HOW I FELT MANY MANY YEARS AGO UNTIL...
 
I FOUND OUT THAT JESUS LOVED ME
 
I FOUND OUT THAT I DID NOT NEED TO DO GOOD WORKS TO GET TO HEAVEN
 
I FOUND OUT THAT I DID NOT EVOLVE FROM A MONKEY (frankly I never believed that)
 
I FOUND OUT THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO BE REINCARNATED AGAIN (this I believed)
 
I FOUND OUT THAT I WAS BEAUTIFUL AND THAT I WAS MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE
 
I FOUND OUT THAT IN ORDER TO BE SAVED I SIMPLY HAD TO ASK JESUS TO FORGIVE ME FOR
 
ALL OF MY SINS,
 
AND
 
BELIEVE
 
THAT HE WAS BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY,
 
DIED ON THE CROSS FOR ME SO THAT I COULD BE FORGIVEN,
 
AND BELIEVE THAT HE ROSE ON THE THIRD DAY.
 
 
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO VISIT: 
 
Jesus Loves you.

BOO! THE STORY OF MY CONFUSED LIFE...

BOO!
Acrylic
 
KAREN THIS IS FOR YOU. 
THIS PAINTING IS A MOTHER AND HER DOGGIE.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I CHOSE IT BUT IT IS ENDEARING.
 
 
OK, I'M ALREADY GETTING A LITTLE TIRED OF THIS SO
MAY I BE SHORT, SWEET AND SUCCINCT. :)
 
I'm going to start off with my Sunday visit to church.
I love this Pastor because he is not surrounded by
fluff,
frosting,
or ice cream.
He tells the Word of God (Bible) like it is!
He does not try to compromise it at all.
 
Many, many years ago I was a major liberal searching for God.
I can sincerely say that I really wanted to find the true God.
so....
I delved into Hatha Yoga, Occultism (I was a medium)
drugs,
astrology,
Carlos Casteneda,
Eric Van Daniken
Reincarnation,
reaching the state of Samadhi
Middle Eastern beliefs, etc. etc,
 
It was a time to explore the unexplored
and to do away with the
boring concept of Christianity.
 
There had to be something better out there.
 
Please note that I was brought up a Catholic for 18 years.
 
Something was wrong and I had to go find out about
God.
 
(Ok...I handed my life over to FB in a nut shell...
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I even exhausted myself.  You can tell that I am not a story teller.)
 
Well, now I can wake up in the morning and say,
Good Morning Jesus...
Good morning King of all Kings...
Good morning Holy Spirit
with a blessed peace
in my heart and mind.
 
I am no longer in need of stimulants and esoteric beliefs.
I found the true Jesus of the Bible.
 
Pastor prompted me to write about this because for those of you that are still searching and really want to find God
I want to tell you that He exists.
There is only one God
and
that is the
God of the Bible.
God the Father,
God the Son,
and
the Holy Spirit.
 
That is it!
It's simple
and not complicated.
 
I no longer need to do torturous rituals so that I won't have to come back as a pooch, or how about a turkey if I'm lucky.
All I have to do is to ask Jesus for forgiveness
and tell Him that I believe He is the Son of God
who came to this earth to die on the cross
for my sins.
That's it!
 
I WAS FORGIVEN
by his blood that He shed on the cross for me.
There is
zippo, nada.....left to do.
 
I have left my old ways, and now I'm a new person who wakes up happy in the morning. 
I am no longer miserable like I used to be.
Phew...I used to be angry at the world...
NOT NOW!
Please note that we will always be sinners.  I will NEVER become God and I am not a
God.
When I sin I ask Jesus for forgiveness.
 
Pastor asked us to be prepared for the upcoming conflict that is to come.  He told us that we need to go into prayer more than ever because the future is not going to be easy.
 
Let me tell you if I was not a Christian today,
I would probably not be alive.
But I am, because Jesus loved me sooooo much that He died on the cross for me.
 
I felt like I needed to share this with you
and
you know who you are.
 
I love you, and Jesus loves you.
 
HE'S CALLING YOU...
WHY DON'T YOU ANSWER.
iT'S NOT HARD.

BUBBLES...

Bubbles
8-1/2 x 11"
 
 
Bubbles is a friendly fella.
He spends his entire day
observing the world.
 
Sometimes he's amazed at what transpires;
 
"Ouch my bubble might P..O..P.."
 
So on he goes.
He continues to watch out for the thorns and thistles
that might pop his bubble.
 
He has to be careful with such prickly things.
 
Hmmmmmmmm.....
 
There are sure a lot of them.
 
Poor Bubbles, I don't know how long he'll be able to avoid them.
Oh well, he's bobbing along his bubbly way
making the best of his bubbly life.
 
Are you a Bubbles?
 
__________
 
I have begun a new series of drawings.  They are drawn with a marker and colored with crayons on 8-1/2 x 11" printer paper.  The series is called "Fun Series".  They are simple, fun and whimsical.  I thought it was time to lighten up.  Judging from the above, I don't think I succeeded re the subject matter.  Oh well...
 
They will soon be found in my www.veezart.etsy.com store.

THE MARTYRS

THE MARTYRS



So much suffering endured throughout the ages
 The Martyrs lacked the necessary freedom to believe in God
They lacked the freedom to express themselves

They didn't care about government law
They only cared about dying for their one and only true Savior,
Jesus Christ.

It is heartbreaking to have painted this canvas.
There was a tear with every brush stroke
Tears in honor of
THE MARTYRS

ESCUDERO WEEPS

ESCUDERO WEEPS
28X36"


My exhibit is still up for the rest of this week.
I think what I plan on doing is to feature a different painting that is currently hung up in the gallery throughout the week.

This one is one of my favorite oil pastel drawings.  It is on Fabriano 300 lb watercolor paper.  A lot of luscious purples, reds, blues...color and more color. 
The little figure at the bottom of the page has a broken heart.
It's an endearing piece.
