Is It The Art or The Gold?

Is it the art? Is it the gold? Is it both?

 

With out the shine would the patterns hold up?

 

If it were only oil, acrylic, ink, etc. would the art even stand up?

 

These are just questions that pass through my mind. I am intrigued by what I see but I can't help but say the gold makes it more interesting than anything. It is impossible to undo an image that has been captured by the mind so, to say I wouldn't be intrigued if it were not gold. I have decided to let art be the art and accept the artist as the artist.

 

Enjoy.....the gold...LOL

Your Circle of Influence

 

Your circle of influence is much bigger than you know. Don't allow unintended impressions to lead others to worship something or someone other than the Word of God and Jesus Christ. Be sure to check-out the voices that tag along on your journey. Paul and Silas had to do just that.

Acts 16:16 -24

¹⁶ Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a female slave who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. ¹⁷ She followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved.” ¹⁸ She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so annoyed that he turned around and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” At that moment the spirit left her.

¹⁹ When her owners realized that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to face the authorities. ²⁰ They brought them before the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews, and are throwing our city into an uproar ²¹ by advocating customs unlawful for us Romans to accept or practice.”

²² The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten with rods. ²³ After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. ²⁴ When he received these orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.

 

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will

.Romans 12:2

Arts On The Ridge 2014

Thanks again Ridgeway for a great showing. The weather was beautiful and as usual you showed your love for fine art. I look forward to next year.

Controlled By The Old Man

 

If any one says that he loves God, while he hates his brother man, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother man whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

 

1John 4:20

 

 

The old man in us wants control and for us to do what we feel. It is not easy to say no to his pull.

 God's love requires us to accept Christ, be lead by the Holy Spirit and Love God.

 

May this day be a day that you seek the love of God.  In Jesus name, Amen.

Arts On The Ridge

In about two weeks a small South Carolina town will buzz with excitement. The Arts On The Ridge in Ridgeway SC will bring to the city local artist and performers for a weekend festival of fun. I look forward to seeing all the artist and vendors. My mission this year is to keep my wife near my booth. It is a hard assignment. There are too many unique crafts and jewelry around.
