I’d like to share this new painting that’s all about faith and healing. I’ve been primarily painting the landscape lately finishing my plein air pieces from my trips down the Grand Canyon and to Zion National Park which I’ve been posting for sale in my shop. I’ve always been drawn to the beauty of nature. While most folks were taking their kids to Disneyland, I took mine to the lake or camping up on the Mogollon Rim. Growing up in Minnesota might have something to do with my love of lakes and rivers. I’ve always felt comfortable in the middle of the woods and never worry even when camping alone. Of course I always have a dog or two with me.
Now back to this painting, Brand new day, which really is an homage to God. No matter what pain or loss I am going through I can sit in prayer and give it over to God and I am transported to a glorious place filled with light and beauty. I did a lot of crying and healing throughout the creation of this piece and I tried to illustrate the amazing wonder of God’s love pouring through to my spirit to comfort me and convince me that as a child of God I must be perfect just as I am. I’ve struggled with feelings of unworthiness throughout most of my life and now feel brave enough to share that fact and proud to admit I’m healing and almost feel equal to others.
Hope you have a beautiful day filled with love and faith!
