ARABIAN IN BLUE

A Painting A Day
Painted on Thursday!



Well, Back to work today. I am working on my book for the New York show as we speak. I took a break to do my blog! This is a white Arabian that I painted when Trina was here painting with me on Thursday. The colors reflected the depth of my mood that day as I am searching for changes still and not finding them...but after yesterday and our anniversary I have a slight nod of direction and we will see what passes through the next few months. Nothing happens over night. I think it was our deep conversations, but the Italian Margarita from Olive Garden did not hurt. We also watched a great movie last night...THE GUARDIAN.... highly recommend it for the charged emotional depth of the message.

It was so encouraging again to see my red dahlia inspiring another artist to immediately paint a red dahlia...paint on and enjoy the Lord's glory...there is enough for all of us. The objective of being in the studio is not a competitive issue...it is a learning process, just as life is. Folks that live life in constant competition will wear out faster from worry and frustration. This can result in failed personal relationships because you are constantly on edge with life and every breath you take is preparing you for a fight to compete. Giving glory and praise as we go through the day discovering the pain and the joy, we will find life is in balance if we are centered in the Lord. Our work will begin to reflect the simplicity of this inner joy and peace. Release the need to compete, relax in His arms, you are missing out on good things in your life. There are so many people that care and want to love you, but when you build up walls filled with suspicions, they often give up.

Gratefully embrace the Father for the gifts you have and use them to serve in His name.

Grace,
Laurie

“Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.”—James 1:17
