A Reason to Paint
On September 19, 2006, I went to New Life Island to paint the meaninful places - the cabins, pathways, and familiar spots - in an effort to help the camp raise some much needed funds. God blessed greatly, and in four days of painting, He allowed me to complete 3 paintings and begin 3 more.
I will continue to work on the unfinished paintings in my studio, and I intend on posting the progress here. Keep New Life Island in your prayers and when the time comes, please consider purchasing one of these paintings on behalf of the Island.

Looking at your paintings makes me want to paint again, too. I love your yummy colors and exuberant brushwork. :-)

I also worked in the Craftshop/Snackshop/Bookstore.I hope to return with my family one day! Thak you for a stroll down memory lane.

Ruth,
Thank you for your comments. Perhaps you know my husband, Ben Finch. He was a camper and worked at the island also until '97, I believe there is an NLI staff page on Facebook. Have fun reconnecting!
