What can I say.... this painting definitely started out as a way different  painting that I really liked and had almost gotten there with, but seemed to have lost my momentum on it.   It hung on the wall for over a week until I was willing and ready to let go of it should I not be able to pick up where I left off and it totally change on me.  I did begin with trying to hold on to it and so there was some struggling as it was wanting to go in a different direction.  I kept with it....and then it happened!  All the pre-conceived thoughts of what is right, will it sell,,etc., etc.( you know the stuff that causes artist's block), disappeared being replaced with "oh, whatever, just have fun".  Fun it was!

....and I LOVE it!!

Axiom: a self evident truth that needs no explanation.

I believe that the creative nature of art speaks it's message to the viewer.  It's seems to give that which is needed in order to draw one closer to the Maker of life.  I always love hearing about these personal insights from others.  It works in this same manner for the artist as well.  

There were so many beautiful areas that emerged as I was painting this week on this canvas.  I knew though that I would not be able to keep them all and have a unified work.  As I was contemplating which areas would need to be covered in order to pull this together it struck me.  A sacrifice would need to be made.  Isn't this the way the Creator works.  Sometimes there are things that seem so beautiful and wonderful to us but yet don't last or are taken away and we wonder why. Could it be that this is done in order to complete the work of the bigger picture.  

Is not that what God did in sacrificing his Son in order to provide the way. 

Jesus told him,  "I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No one can come to the Father except through me."  John 14:6

As I began plans for this painting I was thinking about  working with some reds contrasted with neutrals.     This painting is what emerged which has reminded us of another one I did several years ago for my sister-in-law, Karin.  Scroll down to see it or you can read it's post here.
