Those Rays Though!

Those Rays Though!

It has been a very busy couple of weeks around here, and I finally had a painting day! One thing about that though, and I may have told you this before, is that it is so difficult to get back into the flow of painting when I have been out of the studio. This morning, I varnished a painting, entered a competition and show, looked over another couple of competitions that I may be entering, updated my expenses sheet... all kinds of busy work, BUT I WASN'T PAINTING. I think all of those things are valuable, but I really wanted to be painting.

Finally, I decided that I would have to start with something easy and appealing, so I chose to paint two tiny landscape paintings. (I am only sharing one today, until I decide whether I will be adding anything to the other one before sharing.)

This little palette knife painting was inspired by a spring sunrise from last week. The crepuscular rays took my breath away, of course! It always makes me want to compliment my Master Artist Heavenly Father when I see things like this. How can He possibly make this new beauty every single morning? It is incredible to me. 

Hebrews 1:3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of His nature, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
