This started as a demonstration for my students. I can get a painting started and almost finished in 2 hours, however I continue to refine it a week or so later after looking at it for a while. I can see the mistakes better if I wait to say it is finished! When immersed in life, it is hard to evaluate. I am usually totally covered (underwater) just surviving and doing the necessary things each day. The flow of Life gets way too busy, so I stop and retreat to my studio for a relaxing break, floating on the water and allowing God to handle the currents. My perspective is better and I can head off mistakes and blunders. Life goes much better when I wait on His Presence !

There's no Drought Here
Going Home Series #45 11 x 14 oil $295.
During this drought in Southwest Virginia, I'm reminded to follow the path of Living Water, which refreshes my soul. I want to be the tree planted at the edge absorbing all the Water I can for healing and redemption. When I paint I am listening to You Tube music of running water and birds singing and instrumental hymns. It's an incredibily relaxing break from the rush and noise of life!!!! There's no drought in my Happy Place!!!
