“But the rich should take pride in their humiliation–since they will pass away like a wild flower. For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business. For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.”  James 1:10-11 
 



Everything's coming up Roses!

The year was 2005
I just realized... lots of flowers, and tomorrow needs to be a horse!  Repetition, patterns, lines, movement and it is all in sync to keep your eye actively busy while you explore the painting.  I see another corner things going on with one corner area a different color than the rest of the background. The is something that pulls you through the piece. Personally  I love the soft light greens in this one. Dark green or bright mid green would not have made it at all.  It is intuition after painting so many paintings that color comes naturally. 

I love the scratch pulls of the knife behind the flowers where you can see it easily on the left top of the painting and falling down with a pattern.   Opposite corner is the yellow and it has the same feel of scratch pull of the palette knife. Repetition is important in art. It keeps the eye busy! The BLUE BOWL holds court in the central area midway down. Definitely have a riot of bright blooms throughout the painting!

 I believe my horses are getting jealous of the blooms! So tomorrow or the next day, depending on posting... I will share something besides flowers. That is the joy in painting.. something new every day.  Today the issue is selling the work while the country is in a economic slump, and the cost of everything is HIGH. Too high.  

Struggling with the words of the current Admin in Washington.... they are going to cover the pensions of the people in Ukraine ???? Right now they are giving away money and free housing and free food to all those illegally crossing our borders. Throw in the thought our national Admin is pushing the war in Ukraine to go into World War III.  Hubby just told me the US navy blew up the gas line from Russia to Europe creating this horrible situation in Europe, where people can only use so much gas every day. COLD and HUNGRY. USA destroyed the new gas line. Seems like many nations are growing angry with the United States right now.  Can you blame them? I do not recognize this country under this leadership. Our voices are not being heard.  I am not interested in WW3. I am not interested in covering pensions in a country in Europe... while our social security is going away in about ten years... and we are barely affording groceries and gas today.  What are your thoughts?  Things are not coming up roses in the USA. 

Our Trust is in Him.

Beautiful and skillful flowers. Looking forward to the horses, though. I'm a horse-aholic.
