     This is number 22 of the 30 in 30 Challenge.  I can't believe this challenge is coming to an end!  I think I have just now settled into the groove and routine.  Maybe I can continue painting everyday.  I enjoy these alcohol inks so much.  The colors and the vibrancy are so much fun to work with.  I love the impressionistic style.  I think that's just "me".  I did try to be more intentional with this one.  It was with the "what if", and "I wonder if" approach.  I'm learning a lot by just jumping in.  The central focal point speaks to me, in that there is a whole place of promises awaiting each one of us, as we stand at the gate to our  promised land that God has for us.  I think so many times we picture that as leaving a very bad place into a good place, but I think sometimes, it's choosing to leave a beautiful place into a place of more beauty than we can ever imagine; that being the glory of the Lord.

     This is number 8 of the 30 in 30 day challenge.  Seems like the last few weeks of our holiday sure have been taken up in a storm.  I've done a couple of storm like paintings in the last day or two; not because I intended to, but just because it happened.  I notice that lots of times my art reflects what's going on in me spiritually or emotionally.  I love the colors of this piece, and am reminded that on the other side of a storm, there is usually a nice refreshing, gently, cleansing rain followed by a rainbow and sunshine.  I'm believing that the SON will shine and bring His treasure into his healing light.  How long will it storm?  Who knows.  But, better than the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, are the promises of God.  That, I can stand on.  Amen.

Acrylic and Mixed Media on Canvas

8"x10"

SOLD

     I was experimenting with some mixed media glass beads and acrylic.  I painted this to be sold to aid in the prevention of Human Trafficking.  It did sell, almost before I could get it displayed.  It is really pretty and has depth like nobody's business.  The previous post shows the underpainting in complimentary colors, using water soluble wax pastels.  This was fun.
