I seem to be stuck on renderings of flowers lately. I like flowers because like Faces God does not create two exactly alike. We live in a world of variety so instead of using phases like, “I don’t see…,” embrace the world in all its glorious variety.
Painting number 5 in my series of abstract flowers. This one like the rest is done on a 8×10 flat panel canvas using acrylic paints. You know as I’m sitting here posting this God is reminding me how varied and unique each one of His creations are including us. We need to be careful, even as Christians, not to look upon others and try to put them in our mold. Not to try and see how they fit into our group but to see and know fully that no matter what they fit into God’s plan. They are unique and wonderful beings.
The forth in a series of abstract flower paintings was, like the rest, rendered on an 8×10 flat canvas panel. The backgrounds for these paintings was done with a scraping technique. I like the way the randomness of what is left after you add then scrape away layers of paint. It is like what God does in our life. He adds different layers to our life then scrapes away the parts which hinder our growth in the Christian life. Then what is left is a work of art.
