Paint Party Friday: Am I a Light to Others?

On my desk today

is a pile of works in progress.

This one is for a nice, very patient lady.

It is on thick sketchbook paper which I 

put wall putty on.

The verse for this work is from Isaiah 6:3

and I am planning to make lots of colorful 

flowers and insects and animals,

because the verse is about 

how the whole earth is full of God's glory.

Another work in progress.

This time for my niece,

Peggy's daughter, who enlisted me to help

with her Fine Arts thesis entitled:

"Fractals and Patterns from Seashells

Applied as Graphic Elements".

What??? 

Anyway, she is making a pattern book

from designs from seashells.

We have lots of beautiful seashells

here in the Philippines!

I had a rubber stamp made from 

one of the designs

and am using it in this piece.

Looks Hawaiian!!!

On my journal, advice from the prophet Isaiah:

"This is the fasting I wish:

setting free the oppressed, 

breaking every yoke,

sharing your bread with the hungry."

It is the 3rd day into Lent

and I've been reading blogposts

about what bloggers are giving up for Lent.

It's great to go hungry,

if it will lead us to hunger more for God! 

 But let's not forget that 

God does not need our sacrifices

if it makes us focus on ourselves

and our concerns.

John the Baptist did no miracle,

but Jesus said that among those

born of women, 

there had not appeared greater than he.

John's main business was 

to bear witness to the light...

and one of the ways we can do that is 

by being a light to others!

Linking with
