Blue – #5 Lent Painting

These pour paintings have been a messy, marvelous, new adventure! No paintbrush comes into play and I have very little control as to what the design turns out to be. I get to choose my colors, dump the paint on a canvas and tilt the canvas until the surface and sides are covered. I splattered a few more color highlights […]

Show Your Gold – #4 Lent Painting

If we look for dirt, we will find it. If we look for GOLD, we will find that too. Which filter is our normal go-to? I am having a blast playing with this new art technique, pour painting, and today’s masterpiece has layers of meaning. “Show Your Gold” represent some of my history but it also declares my destiny, your […]

Wonder~Full – #3 Lent Painting

“…Stop and consider God’s wonders.” Job 37:14 CSB “Wonder~Full” The straight line of the horizon How the sky touches sea. The wind that makes a whistle The breath that blows the tree. The symphony of sights and sounds Cascading from the clouds. The golden glow of Glory Makes the Master Painter proud. When ray and rain collide Light decides to […]

Pitchers of His Presence – #2 Lent Painting

I have always been a little outside of the box. I love seeing treasure sifted from trash and I get giddy when I see someone repurpose things in unexpected ways. Earrings made from old watch pieces, bracelets strung from guitar strings, hair bands out of old telephone chords, canvases full of paint with sheet music, bible verses and quotes Mod […]

A Sacrifice of Praise – #1 Lent Painting

This Lent I hear God asking me to get creative with a sacrifice of praise. Instead of giving up something, I am leaving something beautiful behind. I am going to exercise my creative muscles for His Glory every day this Lent. Today is day 1 and I am being obedient. I wrote for the first time in a while on […]

Driving Ambition

Chewing on Luke 20 and 2 Cor. 5 this morning. Jesus tells us to be aware of self-righteous leaders and not to follow their example. We still respect them as people and treat them kindly; yet He tells us not to do what they do. Man-made tradition is not always synonymous with God’s truth! Lord, please show me what this […]

Lent Day 7: Snail Trails and Fairy Dust

We all leave something in our wake. What do you think you are leaving in your wake as of today? What do you want it to be? I chose fairy dust, because I value story, imagination and creativity. When fairy dust is left behind it is used to create something magical.  I chose the silver snail trail, because it reminds […]

Lent Day 6: I Want To Hold Your Hand

The Lord looks down in love,  bending over heaven’s balcony,  looking over all of Adam’s sons and daughters. He’s looking to see if there is anyone who acts wisely, any who are searching for God and wanting to please him…Psalm 14:2 TPT My dad was 42 when I was born. Unfortunately, he passed away when I was only 21. He […]

Lent Day 5: Ritual Religion vs. Right Relationship

Several years ago I signed up to take Karate. I wanted to learn how to defend myself against enemies and exercise, in an effort to keep this “temple of the Holy Spirit” healthy and whole. What started out with good intentions, quickly turned into a system of rules that riddled me with fear of failure and mental bondage that made […]

Lent Day 4: Wrapped-Up

“God, your wrap-around presence is my protection, and my defense…” Psalm 7:10 (The Passion Translation) I see a theme emerging this Lenten season.  I sense the Holy Spirit whispering words like: Comforter tucked into pocket And today I am adding “wrapped-up” to that list.  These are not new words but I feel that a deeper meaning is on the horizon.
