It’s all about our attitude
As an artist, I need to keep creating art (sales or no sales), encouraging others, praying, cooking, exercising…Also, sharing…I want to share with you my 5 rules to help my creativity:
- EXPERIMENT
- BE FEARLESS
- BE ENERGETIC
- BE SPONTANEOUS
- HAVE FUN!
It’s all about our attitude.
I like to do a small quick painting before doing a big one. Here is a 6X6" sketch.
Step 1: On a 24"X36" canvas, I started a quick wash in acrylic.
Step 2: I continued adding layers of colors and more textures, all in acrylic.
Step 3: I finished it with oil paint. Royal, 24"X36"
In these uncharted waters, I am reminded that our true work is not our job but rather, protect each other and love one another. It seems to me that this crisis is a ‘reset’ button of what needs to be my priorities. Perhaps a deeper relationship with God that will extend far beyond the pandemic of COVID-19.
The Bible says in Psalm 46: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear… I find these words very comforting today.
Easter season is a good time to remember God’s greatest gift to us. Let’s remember why His son, Jesus, gave His life to save us. Death on the cross was not the end. Indeed…this is the greatest gift of all, He gave us ETERNAL LIFE!
It’s all about our attitude. Stay positive and keep doing your creative work, it’s what gives moments of beauty and joy to others.
From my heart to yours, I wish you all a Happy Easter.
