#472 Yellow Flower by Tree

| Whitt’s End Art

Yellow flower By the Tree is an acrylic painting rendered on a flat panel canvas. The background is done by dragging the paint across the canvas and then rendering the flower. Today I am reminded of an old saying, “All good things come to those who wait.” In other words God calls us to be patient. The problem is we don’t want to wait we want things in the here and now not in the days, weeks, months or years to come. It is hard to be patient but we must learn to have faith that God will in His time and move on.

#471 Faith, Hope and Love

| Whitt’s End Art

Today’s offering is an 11×14 acrylic paints rendered on a flat panel canvas. In life I think we have three things which are highly important.

1. Faith to carry us through the bad times and to share n matter what happens.

2. Hope which the Bible says is “set before us,” Hebrews 6:18

3. Love which was given to us to share.

Take hold of these three things and life will not necessarily be smoother but the bumps become so much smaller in scope.

#470 Big Rabbit-Little Girl

| Whitt’s End Art

As little children some things seem bigger than they really are. Like that first let rabbit which at the time seemed so huge. My painting is an homage to,those days of huge vision. The painting is done in pastel and color pencil on a piece of 6×9 drawing paper. In our lives there are many problems which seem huge to us but when viewed through the eyes of God they are reduced to smaller problems.

#469 Yellow Bird

| Whitt’s End Art

I rarely try my hand at rendering birds because I am not totally satisfied with the results. Here is my latest attempt. I created this one using Prismacolor pencils over a light pencil drawing. As an artist I look at the world around and see opportunities for art.some of them appear to difficult but I try them anyway. As a Christian I look at the world around me and see what God sees, people. Some of them appear difficult and unfriendly but when you take the time you soon find they are just like you, people in need of a new way.

#468 Yellow Flowers in Vase

| Whitt’s End Art

I created this piece of art work on an old book page using Prismacolor pencils and highlights in ink. I have no words of wisdom today except this, strive to be the best you, you can possibly be, because there is no one in this world like you.

#467 Orange Abstract Iris

| Whitt’s End Art

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.

#465 Abstract Purple Flower

| Whitt’s End Art

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.

#464 Abstract Blue Flower

| Whitt’s End Art

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.

#463 Abstract White Flower

| Whitt’s End Art

The third in my series of acrylic abstract flowers on an 8×10 flat panel canvas. This one is probably my favorite so far. I love the way the white flowers pops on the grey and orange background. The flower reminds me of something Jesus once said and I paraphrase, You don’t put a light under a basket where the light is hidden, no you put it out on a table for everyone to see. In the same manner do not hide your faith, put it out there for everyone to see as their guiding light.
