A NEVER ENDING JOURNEY...

HURRY BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

 

Ever since I was a child, texture, color and design were my inspiration.

 

As an adult this motivation has never ceased.  But my primary motivation to draw is to experience the final second when I can actually declare that the painting is finished.

 

This factor gives me the desire to never stop creating.  I believe that my art is inspired by the Holy Spirit.  Sometimes the outcome is fun and whimsical, intriguing, but when that perfect inspirational nugget is revealed, I stop and marvel at my Oh Mighty God. 

 

God is a creator, God is humorous, artistic, and God is my everlasting JOY!

This is why I paint.  Art for me is a never ending journey through my brief life on earth.  Art is the essence of pausing on that journey to observe the perfect creation that my Abba Father created.

 

 

 



A LONELY PAINT BRUSH

AS AN ARTIST I STILL QUESTION THE VALIDITY

OF A PAINTING.
 I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL OR GROTESQUE,
BUT MY QUESTION STILL REMAINS...
"DOES ART FEED THE HUNGRY AND THE DESTITUTE"?

IT HAS BEEN SOOOOO DIFFICULT TO RECONCILE THE FACT THAT

I WAS BORN TO PAINT, AND BY DOING THIS
I WOULD MINISTER TO THE PUBLIC.

UNFORTUNATELY ART DOES NOT HELP THE POOR IN NEED,
IT MIGHT MINISTER IN A SPIRITUAL WAY
BUT IN MY LIMITED CAPACITY AS AN ARTIST...
I CAN'T SEE HOW IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

I'M SIMPLY EXPOSING MY DEEPEST FEELINGS BECAUSE MAYBE THERE
IS SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE NOT
ALONE.

I'M A CHRISTIAN ARTIST WHO IS ATTEMPTING TO WALK THE
NARROW AND LONG PATH TO GOD VIA ART.

IT'S A LONG AND LONELY PATH TO THE FATHER...
BECAUSE IN THE LONG RUN I WILL BE BY MYSELF
WHEN I TAKE THAT FINAL STEP OFF THE PATH OF LIFE.
AND
I MEET THE CREATOR.
HE WILL REQUEST FOR ME TO RECALL WHAT I DID WITH HIS
GIFT OF ART.

THIS WILL BE TOUGH,
BUT I WANT TO ANSWER
AND
SAY
"I TRIED"

SO FOR NOW
I SUPPOSE I'LL CONTINUE TO BE THAT LONELY PAINT BRUSH
THAT WILL CONTINUE TO PAINT ONLY
WHAT MY
ABBA FATHER WANTS ME TO PAINT.

MAY THE JOURNEY UNFOLD.
