This was a recent commission. The prompt I started with was the verse, the size space it was going into and “ballet imagery”
I loved getting to bring these to life. Each one could be its own unique standalone painting, but together they tell a story of worship, transformation and joy.

This project also has me excited for gatherings to start up again this fall.

This is an heirloom that I cherish. I wear it every day. My Mamaw’s ring was given to me by my mother and I hope to one day pass it along to someone who will also cherish it.

In general, if it’s old, I will love it. But there’s especially something special about an object knowing it was loved by someone with whom I share a history.

What’s something you cherish from past generations?

I’m in a book launch team for ’s new book coming out (go preorder it now - https://amzn.to/3jFsnmr - it’s amazing!) and Mary shared this concept with the team this week and I’ve been mulling the concept over and over in my mind since.

To paraphrase what she shared:

Pruning is not punishment - we are not punishing the hydrangeas or trees when we prune them. We are preparing them for the next season. Preparing them for new growth. For what we know that they are capable of and of what we want to see the next time around. It’s really hard to lean into that when you’re in the middle of it - but when we look back at the evidence of what God has done in our lives - those times when the seasons have been thin and hard and stripped away and then new life comes in. We look back at the evidence to the contrary and God’s history and track record of faithfulness. And the truth is - God’s past faithfulness demands our present trust.

I thought I was in this group to support her new book because I’m very excited about it, but truthfully, sitting in this group is breathing life into me in ways I had no idea I even needed. She has such insight that feels like she’s speaking directly to me - even though we’ve never met and she has no idea who I am or what is happening in my life. Yet her words are so honest and encouraging and challenging and thought provoking.

So. Thank you Mary for your wisdom and encouragement. It truly inspires.

I had the pleasure of staging my petrykivka piece today to create some promo images for the auction.
While it was here, I also took some images of the painting my dad did for the same benefit auction (isn’t he talented?! I think he’s the best…but I’m biased). The church in his painting has an incredible story. That congregation waited 100 years to use a building they had just completed when the government took over and let it fall in on itself. They only recently finished the 19 year renovation project-only for Russia to invade.

When I know more about the auction, I will share. They are working on a date and a platform.

In honor of today, I decided to do a fun little painting of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!
have been with going on a treasure hunt at the end of a rainbow lately. So-this one is for them!

First of all-I’m in love with all the new tips from that I learned at 🥰

Second-I’m completely in love with this tree from 😍 It’s the Unity Oak where a sweet couple will be getting married this month! Two trees grown together. One cannot tell where one ends and the other begins. This tree is estimated to be over 300 years old!

Third-this was commissioned as a gift for that sweet couple from their planner-what an amazing idea for any business owner to give a custom gift to their clients! So many businesses market themselves as a personal brand, why not give a personalized gift?

Finally sharing this portrait from a house we flipped last year! We revamped this mid century modern ranch house to include modern amenities while retaining its classic charm.

As a surprise gift to the home buyer, I painted this watercolor portrait of the home, capturing how it is frozen in my memory: framed in autumn glory.

If you would like a custom portrait of a place special to you or as a gift for someone special, send me a DM.

Like so many others over the past two years, this lovely couple had to reschedule their wedding due to Covid. A full invitation suite for the new date was not in the budget, so I had the privilege of hand painting a one-of-a-kind invitation inspired by their original invitations to showcase in their wedding album. At Kalos, my goal is to create stationery unique not only to your style, but to your needs as well!

Photographers, planners, or brides, if you find yourself in a similar situation, consider a custom one-off invitation for the detail shots of your wedding album without the expense of a full wedding suite.

Meet Chip and Oreo. I shared some progress stories earlier, but this is how they turned out!
Love this sweet brother and sister!

Meet Zoe and Brownie. Known by everyone in town as the Griffin dogs, they were an inseparable duo. They always greeted visitors with a smile and are already sorely missed.
Honored to have had the opportunity to paint these memorials in their honor.

***UPDATE***
Thank you all for your interest! I'm blown away by how many people have responded. Thank you all!

I'm working with a printer now to make sure the colors all come out well before officially selling these! As soon as I have a print in hand that I'm happy with, I'll put in a large order for prints for everyone who has pre-ordered.

As far as pricing and sizing, I'm only planning to do an 11x14 print for now. *That's the same size as what was at Harvest Festival
And based on the pricing I'm getting from my printer, the cost for you to order a print will be $35 - which will include shipping.

You can go ahead and pre-order yours here: https://checkout.square.site/merchant/ML42MCEHCETM1/checkout/M6XPQRJWNPLMZGV7Z6LKMSB2

I will update this post as soon as we have the print finalized and ready to send out to everyone!

French Camp, Mississippi - One Fine Place. Every time we visit, a piece of my heart stays in French Camp. This place is so special and has the most amazing and genuine people you will ever meet.

Today was the best day of the year in FC (IMO) the Harvest Festival! I’ve been coming every year since my parents moved here in 2008 and almost as long have had about as much fun creating, building, painting things with my dad for the festival. The week leading up to it is always my favorite! Dad and I enjoy finding whatever scraps we can find and turning them into treasures for the auction! The best part? Whatever proceeds come from the auction go to their church to help fund their ministry. It’s just good all the way around.

This wonderful little map was something I threw together this week to highlight some favorite spots in town. I framed it with a small strip that was trimmed off of some project and left in his scrap pile.

At the top, you’ll see the Council House gift shop in the Historic District and Village as it stood before the council house renovations.

Below that, you’ll see the 181 mile marker that sits on the Natchez Trace Parkway - it’s always nice to count down the miles on your way in to town.

Next you’ll see the Baptist Church in town. I’ve always loved their red door!

Then comes the big French Camp Academy sign that’s become a welcoming beacon for us when we finally make it here (after an 8 hour drive-it is a VERY welcome sight to see!)

After that comes the Presbyterian Church church where my dad (Alex Coblentz) is the pastor - so you know I’m biased to that church!

Below the church, you’ll see the WFCA logo for the radio station here that is so fun to tune into any time I’m missing life in French Camp.

To the right of that, you’ll see the Circle of Honor where faculty and staff come to pray for and honor members of the FCA community past and present.

Below that, you will find the Alexander Strange Hall. I could spend hours sitting on that porch. It’s just so peaceful there and gives you an amazing view of student life on campus.

Then at the bottom, you’ll find the sign for the Camp of the Rising Son. I only ever worked there one summer, but it was one of my favorite summers.
