I decided to let my inner artist take over for this painting. Parts of the painting are more simplistic than I usually create but I like the end result. The painting is an 8×10 acrylic painting created on a canvas panel. I think in our Christian walk we sometimes overthink things. I feel that is why Jesus said to have faith like a little child, because children don’t overthink things they just have faith it will happen.
I love the spring and summer because it is when God’s beauty is on display for all to see. There are so many varieties of flowers it creates numerous opportunities for what I call flower “portraits.” This portrait was created using a scrap piece of scrapbook paper using soft pastels. The painting is around 8×12. I love God’s handiwork. It sets off a rainbow of colors. The Bible tells us in Genesis that God separated the land from sea and first populated it with plants. I can only imagine Adam’s first glance at the garden around him. How the breath would escape from his lungs when he see the would of beauty around. I love creating flowers because it is just a brief glance into that beauty.
A simple little picture created on an old book page with color pencil and soft pastel. I believe I am turning into a flower artist. I don’t know why it just seems to be happening. I like the idea that each flower is unique and there are many colorful varieties. Well anyway I hope you like my flowers.

I offer to you another drawing of flowers. These are part of a field of bright orange flowers. I think as Christians we are like this field of bright orange flowers. We need to shine forth the love of Jesus to others. So I hope on this Super Bowl Sunday we remember we are all part of a winning team. Someday when we reach the goal line we will see Jesus welcoming us as we cross the finish line of this world and into the next.
