On my desk. My journal, acrylic paints, a brush,
a rag, water.
On my journal:
a reading from Colossians 1:
This Gospel, already present among you,
is bearing fruit
and growing throughout the world,
as it did among you
from the day you accepted it
and understood the gift of God
in all its truth.
We had a four day weekend,
but it rained the whole time from
typhoon Nanmadol (what a name!).
So instead of going to the beach,
I was able to do some art.
Both of these canvases are about
blooming and bearing fruit.
When we read the Word of God,
it will work in us and through us.
Even if we think we are not
growing, we are!
The Word will not return to God
without any effect on us.
We will bloom and bear fruit.
Joining the lovely Julia for a
peek at desks and projects!

I love that vibrant tree! And your message, that God's word is working in us, even when we might not be aware of it -- now that gives me hope and encouragement!
ReplyDeleteSweet post - and such a good Word! You've brought the essence of this verse to life through your art! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteJoy!

ReplyDeleteI love all of your canvasees! The flowers are so tactile and your drawing is fabulous! Sorry about your rain. We actually had one of the few "perfect" weekends in the last year here in Washington State in the US. Thanks for sharing your WOYWW, and keep up the great work! -Amanda
ReplyDeleteOh, I love how you've done the tree and the blossoms, really, really beautiful. I could happily have that as a work of art on my wall :) Hugs, LLJ xx

I absolutely in love with the tree canvas. The fruit is so vibrant! Do you make your art available for purchase?
ReplyDeleteAh Patsy, your calligraphy is wonderful..I cannot change 'fnt' so readily; your example reminds me to be patient and practice! I second what Tertia says too.
ReplyDeleteYour canvases are terrific. Both the tree and the gal with her flowers are so inspirational. Have a super WOYWW.
