perhaps you thought that i already was one -- perhaps you are right. what i mean, though, is that i am changing the way i think about myself. i will now think, when i get up each day, "I AM AN ARTIST".
not really, but it is something that i will be exploring more. i've realized that i love to paint! it's such a beautiful, satisfying and challenging way to indulge my love of all things visual.
i just finished an 8' x 12' painting for an event that several churches in Lethbridge are taking part in. it's called one body fest and the idea is that if we are the church, the body, the bride of Christ, and there are new students entering our city each year who come from churches...we should be welcoming them! so we're going to try and do that. there's a lot more to it, obviously, and there's a sense of urgency in it, because so many people leave the church and let go of faith in these young adult years.
we want to see that statistic change, not so we can keep butts in pews, but so that we can together discover the truest meaning of the gospel...
again, more to that than i was preparing to type right now.
here is the painting in 3 stages -- i'm thinking that i'll get prints made of it so that ya'll can have a copy of your very own.
