Simple Sunday with Artist Chris Brandley
Welcome to Simple Sunday!
Tonight we are featuring a piece of art by artist, Chris Brandley from Keller, TX – United States
This is her bio:
I grew up in a military family, and had the opportunity to visit and live in many different cultures around the world. My art reflects my travels and life experiences.
I have loved creating art for as long as I can remember. My college major was in Visual Arts at Baylor University in Waco, Tx. where I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in 1989, with a certification in art education. My career began by teaching middle school art in the public schools for 11 years while I painted murals on the side. Taking a leap of faith, I resigned from teaching, and started my own business (‘Creative Wall Designs’) in 2002, creating murals and decorative painting in residential and commercial establishments.
I am also very passionate about painting with oils and acrylics on canvas, and have sold these along with prints to collectors locally, as well as nationally and internationally.
I am truly blessed to be able to do what God created me to do, and I give Him all the glory!†

ANGEL AIR
Little angel dressed in white
descended through the bright Spring light,
touched the ground where seeds lay cold
so they would grow upon the wold.
With firm but gentle love caress
she touched the flowers’ petal dress
and as their blooms spread to the sky
sweet fragrance was set on the fly.
Wafting across hill and dale,
divine odors fixed their sail
anointing air with angel’s breath
till autumn chill brought flowers’ death.

Memories With You Grew
When little the flowers are as tall or taller than you
To stop and smell making life true taking away the blues
I haven`t a clue why this is true
Just me being little and love smelling flowers as I view
Now grown and big I lean over you
Stopping to smell…I may pick a few
I love the memories within they grew
Sweet scents of past refreshing and new
PRETTY LITTLE MISSY
~
Flowers pick right from the garden
The smell so sweet
Colors pretty to see
Little hands did pick
Pretties picture did see
All dressed in spring colors
Rosy cheeks and a happy smile
Makes remembrance a keep sake to be
To see pretty little Missy all a glow in pearly white

very beautiful
Once upon a time there was a little girl in white.
Susan was able to see the small things in life .
She had no worries when she stopped to smell the tulips .
Little Susan fell in love with the bright colors.
A stander by shot the picture.
Reminded him of early days with his own daughter.
For he knew he was a great father.
He stared for awhile.
For he saw something in this child’s spirit .
He saw in his digital camera how special Susan truly was .
Susan never noticed the man.
She was busy loving the warm day and the flowers .
That what child grace really is .
LOVELY ART- TAKES ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD AND LOOKING AT MY GRANDMAS FLOWERS IN HER GARDEN- THEY SEEMED HUGE! BUT I GUESS I WAS JUST SMALL LOL 🙂

***********Rose for Mother************
For you see, soon is Mothers’ Day And I can’t
visit my mom to give her a rose, She is so far
in heaven.For it wasn’t very long ago The angels
came and took her home.So I’m picking some roses
from the garden for my mom grave. And tell her
presence and love have always been there then and now,
Everything in her nature is to only care.
With every soft hug and kiss The world seems more beautiful
and blessed.Washes my clothes for me,
tickles my toes for me,giggles and talks with me,
and also goes on walks with me,Says “sweet dreams
to me,Sings sweet songs to me,I am glad she belongs
to me. want tell her we’ll meet again someday And
we’ll pick roses together.

“Stop and Smell the Flowers” by Chris Brandley
PRECIOUS CUPS OF PEACE
Sweet cups of springtime nectar,
translucent in the sun,
bring joy to my heart,
as I come here to the garden
to admire each and every one,
sipping a bit of golden nectar
with the honeybees
and butterflies
who dance among
the tulips growing
in the garden
and glowing
in the springtime sun.
And as I stop here
for just a moment or two
to share in the beauty
and to witness the scene,
my heart is bathed
in the nectar that flows
from Mother Nature’s
precious cups of peace.
