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.
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.
The second in my series of abstract flowers. It is created using acrylic paints on a 8 x 10 flat panel canvas. Over the course of my art life I find myself doing more and more abstracts. I like working outside the rendering of the real. Don’t get me wrong I still like creating life like portrayals but working outside of the box gives you certain freedoms. The Christian life can appear to be an abstract painting at first it seems like a jumble of a new ideas and way of life but after you read your Bible and with the help of the Holy Spirit everything gets clearer.
I recently started dabbling once again in acrylic paints. I decided to try my hand at doing a series of abstract flowers. The red flower done on an 8×10 flat panel canvas. The type you buy at your local art supply store in packs of six. I like the flat panels because they fit in a frame much better than a normal canvas.
I love to repurpose old book pages and use them to create art. Today’s offering is another in my series of fashion art pieces. I have added some wording to the page. Something new I’m trying. The piece started out as a pen drawing highlighted with soft pastel.
The first miracle in the Bible attributed to Jesus is the turning of water into wine. if you remember Jesus told Mary it was not yet His time to show people His true nature that of being the Son of God. Still Jesus being the good son he was listened to His mother and turned the water into not just wine but the best wine the guest had ever tasted. The fruit of the vine from Jesus is sweet. The sweetest thing we will ever taste this side of Heaven. I’m not talking about wine you drink. I am talking about a life lived for a greater purpose than self satisfaction. A life lived loving and helping others. So taste the sweet wine, bow the knee, accept the invitation of Jesus ans start living a more purposeful and free life.
Every so often I like to revisit a piece of art I’ve done before and change it in some way. I added more color to this drawing using water colors and color pencil. I also used a fixatif spray in order to brighten the colors. I hope you like the new version.
