Underwater Scene

Watercolor
When I was very young, my mother used to repeat a phrase which
has a beautiful resonance. Whenever a breeze would blow
through the trees, she would look up in an attitude of praise
and say, "I love your Source."
Indeed the Source of all creation and any creative effort
comes from God whose Spirit moves us in ways that we often do
not comprehend, but we feel the "breeze" and we can say, "I
love your Source."
It is in this way that I approach the canvas, and my marks and
colors transform the two dimensional surface. As an artist, I
work with my hands, mind and heart and express what I have
seen, felt and heard and rely on The Holy Spirit to lead the
way.
The name I have given the retrospective "Along the Way"
reflects my contribution to the people, places, and things
that have been on my journey. For me the journey is from
everlasting to everlasting and by the Grace of God I look
forward to continuing an art and faith walk and at my last
breath say: "I love your Source." |
