Art Lesson

Yesterday, I was feeling adventurous in teaching Isaiah his colors. So we raided the studio for supplies and found him a great little 4x4 canvas that I got on clearance from Michael's for probably under a $1. It has a preprinted lion on it, and came with a few little little tubes of paint in the back as well as a little tiny brush. But we used some old paint by number paints we got handed down to us by my late Grandma Hites.

Isaiah loved exploring the colors, and making marks on the canvas. He paid little attention to the manufacture picture, and covered it up almost immediately. The brush he was using had a wonderful long handle on it and he did manage to get the wall 3 or 4 times and did get the floor and the toe of my sock. Thank God for a quick swipe of a wash cloth and no one would know it recently had red, yellow, orange, blue & green on it. All that remains is the beautiful painting that Isaiah created. The painting is the perfect size to keep forever in a momento box!

Corruption

Here's one of the things that I love to do...corrupt other people to embrace their creative side & discover that they too can paint & create beautiful things. This is Melinda and her painting "Surrender All". It's quite prophetic actually of her life and circumstances. I really love the whole design of it, her surrendered with hands in the air and light breaking forth out of the sky, what I call God clouds (as if there was a cloud that God didn't create. lol!). But I particularly like these clouds because they open up and let heaven here to earth! And that is exactly my prayer for Melinda...for heaven's light to breakthru into her life and she fully surrender to it all. That no area of her life be left in the dark from God's light. I also pray that where ever she is, and whatever she is going through that she bloom where she is planted and not strive for what God already has blessed and
promised her and us really. God is good & faithful & worthy to be praised!

All your heart.

I haven't given this blog much love lately. But I do have a bunch of ideas swirling around my head after reading and drooling over the latest issue of Somerset Studio Magazine...oh how I love it! Anyway, I am participating in a swap for Valentines Day which I've participate in many time before....anway here's a sneak peak of the hand carved stamp I made last night. I rather love the image of the heart & I love all the scriptures & songs about love & hearts. Perhaps I will hang out in this theme for a bit?
