Pleasing God

"His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor is his pleasure in the legs of a man, but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him (reverence, awe), in those who hope in his steadfast love." ~Psalm 147:10-11

So, I don't need to be this...

or this...

 

 

for God to be this...

 

 

I just need a little bit of this...

 





 

 And this...

 

Trusting God

 

"Let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord." ~Jeremiah 9:24

 

Room with a View

It starts with a photograph...

 

The objective: create a room with a view with abstracted levels of space and contrasting colors.

 

 

Streaky window to abstract one view of the outside. Impressionistic strokes out second window.

 

 

Realistically painted objects on the table to contrast the inside and outside.

 

 

As a final touch, stars are added to the inside walls. Stars added by flicking a brush with white paint on the canvas. Gets a nice effect of clustered stars.
