So many voices
So much bad news
Its overwhelming…
Breathe…
Trust
Hope
Love

Breathe…
I am so grateful, for all that covers the chaos, that reminds me of joy and beauty.
I am grateful for the small gifts from friends and family (like these lavender and wattle) that make each day pass more easily.

This artwork is part of my splatter art series. It brings me so much joy, to literally throw paint on the canvas, and is a At our local shops there are the most adorable little swallows that roost in the eves. No matter how many spikes have been placed there, pretend snakes put up, these gorgeous little birds can not be persuaded to move on. While it may not be the best for the businesses, they are so beautiful and a highlight of our visit; when we can spot them.

This artwork is part of my splatter art series. It brings me so much joy, to literally throw paint on the canvas, and is a wonderful break from the more intense paintings I do. These paintings are for pure joy.
The canvas is clear primed to expose the beautiful thick woven linen fabric.

I am not the most commercial artist. To be commercial you are supposed to paint in a similar style so that your art is recognisable, I am not so good at that because I paint my life and my moods, so my paintings tend to go up and down with my life.
I did read a great article about the reason to paint the same things over and over…to learn from! What a good idea…maybe a good thing for life also?? Learn from past mistakes??? Maybe??

I always contemplate life as I paint, and I was really struck while painting this one in particular. If you were to come in part way through and check out my painting you would think it was pretty terrible, you wouldn’t see the process I was going through to enable the beauty to develop.
Our life is not simple and it would be pretty easy to look at it and think what a mess! Someone messed this up! I know that God has His vision and purpose for our lives, that He sees the completed picture and the process we must go through in order for it to be made complete.
