Denial

Don't be a Chicken #3.  Watercolor and Yupo.  I'm reminded how the cock crowed 3 times, and how Christ was denied.  Will you also deny Him?  Or will you serve Him, with a fresh and renewed heart this new year?  Let 2013 be the year of a new beginning with Him.

Chicken #2

Don't be a Chicken #2.  Watercolor and Acrylic on Yupo.  8x10.

Chickens

Don't be a Chicken #1.  Watercolor and Acrylic on Yupo.  Go ahead, jump in and serve the Lord with all your heart!  8x10.

Played with my new set of Dr. Ph. Martin's Liquid Watercolor set #1 today.  I'm experimenting using a different color pallet as well as using liquids.  They certainly are bright and seem to not lose much color after drying.  I was drawn to the colorful dress in the non-traditional patterns of this Ugandan woman and child.  Her face tells her story.  Very typical of the Ugandan women.  The men smile all the time, but it is rate to see very many smiles coming from the women.  The feeling of hardship and oppression is readily evident, and I believe portrayed in my painting.  I'm doing a series of Uganda Women with their babies.  8x10 on 140# Arches paper.

Journaling with God

I spent a good part of the day organizing my messes and then, making more messes.  I jumped into the fun of using my brand new "gelli" to make stamped papers of all sorts of designs and colors for later on collages.  I was a bit tired, but not wanting to give up my solitude in my studio.  It's not often that I have any solitude, and I cherish every moment.  I wanted to do something, but lacked energy for creativity.  So, I sat down and just began to  draw, sort of unconsciously.  I wasn't concentrating on the drawing, just listening to a you tube video, in between yawns and looking at my watch.  Is it bed time yet?  It might be.  It could be.  I began to think about the journaling that my new found friend, Patti Hale does.  So, I just began.  Drawing without thinking, coloring, and relaxing.  Then, I began to ask the Lord what he is telling me through this piece.  It's quite interesting, because I believe there is definitely a trail...perhaps the trail of my life.  There have been times that I've been squeezed and times that have been broad and peaceful, but always colorful.  I've always thought that Life is like a smorgasboard with so much to offer.  I began to notice the shapes on the right, and thr groupings of the shapes.  I see that there are 8 squares that are distinctly set apart by a green leaf.  When I look up the symbolism of the number 8, I see that it represents a new beginning.  Interestingly, I just recently retired from teaching and have started a new journey as pastor of Supernatural Ministries at my church.  3 of coarse represents the Godhead, which is exactly what I have spent alot of time talking about lately.  The black horizontal lines remind me that God was, is, and will be".  The small 5 circles, remind me of the 5 fold ministry, also again something that I have thought alot about lately.  I see that there is fruit bearing from the 5 fold, as well as from the 4 waves.  That tells me that we must bear fruit in all seasons.  When we are connected with God, and hear and obey Holy Spirit, there will be plenty of fruit.  This was fun.  I think I'll try it again sometime.

Five Fold Ministry

22x30 Acrylic on Canvas, painted during worship at His Joy Ministries' Women's Conference, Snyder, TX.  last weekend.  This was amazing.  I had no idea what I was going to paint.  I took a crayon and wrote Redeemed.  You can still see the "R".  I prayed and painting, prayed and painted, just painting what I had the urge to do in the moment.  Dennis See, a prophet was speaking that night.  He interpreted the art piece, which WAS his SERMON!  The curved lines represent the arms of the Lord.  The 5 vertical red lines are the 5 fold ministry.  The Wheat is at the top, and the flame is burning the Tares and the current dead churches.  The links at the bottom represent the connection and dependence of the the 5 fold ministries, and Jesus is Redeeming it all!  Whooohoooo!  I believe this is not only a worship art piece, but also a prophetic piece.
