  • Watercolor Wednesday: Jesus in the desert

    By Leo Boucher

    During Lent we are invited to ponder the life of Jesus. How God became man and dwelled among us. How he suffered and was abused. How, indeed, he experienced his own desert experience.

    Do you feel like you’re banished to the desert? I pray you’ll feel the comfort of One who has experienced all this and more.

  • Watercolor Wednesdays – Punting on the Cam

    Watercolor Wednesdays – I thought, since people had such a lovely reception of the 12 Days of Christmas Art by my dad, Leo Boucher, that I’d share some more of his art on a Wednesday. Whaddya think?
     
    Here’s his take on what’s known as punting on the Cam – the River Cam in Cambridge. I went punting a few times when I lived in that rarefied city, enjoying being a tourist and taking in the lovely ‘backs’ of the colleges – the backsides of the buildings of each of the colleges that stands on the Cam.
     
    When I look back at those months in Cambridge, as a newlywed and an immigrant, I remember the shock of arrival but joy at the new adventure. And the fun of living in a block of flats called “The White House.” But when all of my belongings arrived after its 6 week trip over the Atlantic, I cried. For I was now home, and the enormity of what I’d done started to sink in a bit. #FindingMyselfinBritain
     
    Have you ever gone punting?

  • Celebrating Epiphany

    It’s Epiphany! The day we mark the wise men coming to worship Jesus. Contrary to common tradition, they didn’t appear at the same time as the shepherds, but a lot later – many commentators think Jesus was around two years old. But for us the day rounds off the Christmas season. We look back at the sparkle and wonder and give thanks for the many gifts the Lord gives us, not least the best gift ever – the presence of his Son, Jesus. So today marks the last of my dad’s paintings – for now. I’ve saved one of my favorites for today; enjoy! (I will post again when Leo Boucher sets up a website with his art – thanks so much for the interest!)

  • The Tenth Day of Christmas

    On the tenth day of Christmas… many people return to work and school. Let’s keep the celebrations going in our hearts and homes. For me, I’m dreaming of a Minnesota white Christmas! Artwork by Leo Boucher.

  • The ninth day of Christmas

    On the ninth day of Christmas… this is when we start to become countercultural, for many people are taking down (or have taken down) their Christmas trees and are embracing new sugar-free regimes of fitness and abstaining from alcohol. But people, we’re still in the season of Christmas! Jesus has come into our lives! Celebrate and rejoice! (Artwork by Leo Boucher)

  • The Fifth Day of Christmas

    Happy fifth day of Christmas! We woke up to a thick frost and sunshine, which is lovely. Thinking about the Son as the Sun and the light he brings. What light do you see today? (Artwork by Leo Boucher.)
