A Painting a Day
Thursday is dawning. This painting was finished up on Tuesday. It is the fourth in my Central Park New York Series. This series is painted with a palette knife and the paint is layered in about five layers and is very very thick.Dreams and visions. I did begin my painting yesterday of the Wolves I saw standing in my dream. Wolves are not a common subject for me to paint. I do about one or two a year I guess. My dream was really vivid, or the image was. I will finish it up today or tomorrow and will post it for you.
Often we have dreams and visions in our life. They may not necessarily be an indicator of the future, but they are indicators of what lies in your thoughts that God knows before you know. Often these are doors we are to knock on, but they may not necessarily open. Dreams initiate thoughts and hopes. God will reveal things to us in his time. I always think back to Sesame Street when my children were young. The lesson was to teach them to think ahead. If I do this... what will happen. The story line continues showing one possibility and then reruns examining another possibility. Isn't that what we should do in our own lives?
I think the next important thing is again to always know the day is your day to make into a positive experience. Your thoughts, your words and your actions are the key to your happiness in that day and what you pass on to others.
A quick note of thanks to fellow artist and believer, Don in Colorado...he is teaching a marvelous series on James, using the life of Elijah for illustration. Terry and I are beginning it today and I cannot wait! Perhaps Don should share his teachings in a daily blog.
Shalom,
Laurie
“He came and said to me, ‘Daniel, I have now come out to give you wisdom and understanding. At the beginning of your supplications a word went out, and I have come to declare it, for you are greatly beloved. So consider the word and understand the vision.’”—Daniel 9:22-23
