Fall in Central Park, oil painting of New York City park by Judy Batterson, Florida Artist

What? No palm trees? A Florida friend went on a trip to Central Park and asked this Florida artist to capture her trip memory on canvas. She had a great time in New York, took a walk to see the fall trees and loved her vantage point in Central Park. Paintings preserve memories!

Walking in Sunshine, by Judy Batterson, Florida Artist

A friend grew up with a large painting hanging in her family's living room. When her dad died, she wanted to have this painting for the special memories associated with it. But, unfortunately, it had been given away. That's when an artist can help! I recreated her painting on a smaller scale. What a joy to see her face when I presented the painting! May we all "walk in sunshine" now and through eternity!

The Eastern Gate, Golden Gate in Jerusalem with Palms, by Judy Batterson, Florida Artist

A friend's trip to Jerusalem inspired this small oil painting of the Eastern Gate. Around the sides of the painting are written the words, "He will come from the East. The Eastern Gate waits quietly. Golden Gate of destiny, sealed in stone. Waiting to sing, Hosanna to the King." I hope to go there one day to see the gate and the palms. 4x4 oil.
