The more I paint these shores, the more I understand myself and why I love painting water and waves lapping against the shores. Waves wash against the rocks and wear away at them, but at the same time, water is refreshing and life giving. This is number 25 of 52 paintings I am painting this year. I think I'm growing.
Thanks so much for your continued encouragement, your comments and eye-opening critiques.
Our kitchen is nearly finished as far as the lower cabinets and new countertop are concerned.
Just a little bit more to do.
I had a delightful visit with my grandson, Braden, yesterday. As he puts it, Braden is a "problem solver."
He and I went outside to open a new bag of sunflower seeds for the birds, but when opened we discovered a huge clump of moldy seeds, and many sprouted baby sunflower plants! I said, "Oh, Braden, grandpa will have to get grandma a new bag." But, Mr. Fixit Braden, said, "Oh, no, Grandma, I'm a problem solver. We can put gloves on our hands and fix this! We can throw away the bad ones and fill the feeders." Well, that's just what we did! The birds are so happy and we had a great time solving our problem!
Enjoy your family!
Have a great 4th!
God bless you till next time!!!

The comments you made about the water made me think of Ezekial 11:19 - "...I will take the stony [unnaturally hardened] heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh [sensitive and responsive to the touch of their God]." The water [word of God] comes to wear down the hard places in our hearts and bring softness, cleansing, and refreshing as it washes over us. Over time the rocks are changed and so are we! Praise God that "Three Are on Duty" (The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) to make sure that the transformation takes place. They are watching over us carefully and affectionately. We are sure to win!!

I remember the first painting you did that reflected your use of "light" the most: the one of the castle. Since then, you have kept improving in the use of this technique. I have seen tremendous growth in your work over the years and an increase of the anointing. I look forward to every Wednesday to see what you are going to paint next!

Your site is beautiful. I too am a grandmother and loved the sharing about the birdseed and your grandson. God Bless you.
