The Storm Before The Calm

 

 
 
For all of the fellow artist;
I don't know about you but I am more panic before a show than at the show. The studio looks and feels like I do. My wife refuses to come near it. It's a good thing because it could be a little dangerous getting around. Somehow i know were everything should be. And, I can always tell when someone moves something.
To all spouses of artist be extremely patient with an artist around a show. Nothing said during this time is coming from a sane person. As a matter of fact they may never know they said it.
The show however is a totally different deal.

Honoring The Fallen

http://www.wltx.com/story/news/local/2014/05/26/soldiers-fallen-memorial/9612891/
 
 
A talent and a service. This is a story that tugs at the heart. God bless those who serve and God bless Karen Langley and her talent.
 
"Hopefully this is a good part that I can do, I just feel like it is helping them to heal and I just feel like it's an honor to be able to paint them and it hopefully brings them peace to be able to see their son or daughter every day."
 
What a statement.

Is It The Art or The Gold?

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/05/23/lina-viktor-is-the-artist-who-paints-with-gold.html



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
