painting

well, i painted at the banquet last night, first time in a looooong time i've really painted anything artistically (text on banners doesn't count, lol!).... and it went well. i actually enjoyed it. *gasp*

the problem with me and art has been that he's been so pushy and snobbish of late....

*kidding*

the problem with me and art is that it is so emotional for me i wind up wanting to hack the piece up shortly after starting. last night it was like that for a little while, then it got better.

it doesn't usually get better! usually just worse.

so i think God's doing a healing there. since last night i've just wanted to paint and paint and paint!!!!!! lol.... but i have no canvasses at my new home yet.

maybe i will tonight...... ;)

i think the picture, a lady smiling (the 'bride of Christ' i wondered? ie. us?) was actually kinda prophetic for me.... cuz i actually came to a place of enjoying painting, and wanting to do it!

i had thought, what rotten timing, the same weekend as i'm moving... but last night as i was roaming around my as yet relatively empty home - nay, *dancing* around it - i realized i think it was God's way of showing me what His priorities were for me in my new home, my new life.

so it's going to be my studio/desert island - i can only bring what i would bring to a desert island, and nothing else.

well, i might be a *wee* bit more relaxed on that... but not much. i won't have the room for it!
