Consider the Lilies

Consider the Lilies-12X16 $75

Can any of you add a single hour to the length of your lifep by worrying? 28And why do you worry about clothes? Consider the lilies in the field and how they grow. They don’t work or spin yarn, 29but I tell you that not even Solomon in all of his splendor was clothed like one of them. 30Now if that is the way God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and thrown into an oven tomorrow, won’t he clothe you much better—you who have little faith? Luke 12:27-30

My wise and wonderful friend Kay told me I should  "consider the lily" in a painting. Kay seems to have a lot of confidence so I decided to give it a try! Let's see, they seem to be one of the cheapest at the grocery store and yet smell the best.Gorgeous color, check. And such a lyrical shape. Can you believe the background started out yellow? They are definitely fun to paint and after doing something with a lot of detail I love to just cut loose with some wild color.

 Now about that worrying part...sometimes I worry about not really being focused on one style of painting or about not doing a series to develop consistency. But there are so many things I want to try. I worry because I don't have a a personal website or a gallery to direct people to.Or that I need to take a workshop or that I'm not getting better. Sometimes it is a bit overwhelming, but I know that there is truth in the verse so I'm going to try and take Kay's advice and like the lily go with the flow, shine and know that God's got this.

Till next time,
