I've said before that if God is trying to get a point across to me, he repeats himself. I have heard or seen some version of this multiple times over the past few weeks, as well as a message about planting seeds and not quitting. Lots to ponder and think over, but i feel rather encouraged today. #encourage #encouragement #encouragingword #dontquit #dontgiveup #potential #destiny #josephcampbell https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ZSeLShY4Y/?igshid=1fv4zguy8zlyw

I found this in my mailbox today. I have no idea what precious child created and delivered this, but I am praying that God abundantly pours into and blesses her/him as she/he is pouring into others, probably complete strangers. This, my friends, is what the world needs. And thank you, God, for sending them my way. #love #blessings #encouragement #believeinyourself #grateful #affirmation https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Hp9u8hKk4/?igshid=36fqhkojc3lb

Played around a bit yesterday with old paint from a previous pour. I love the consistency and texture of the paint, it really has a wonderful feel when working with it. And I love small a small canvas - it's perfect for playing and experimenting!

I painted the base layer of this piece about 4 months ago, and it has been waiting, patiently, for my return. I spent some time Sunday afternoon with some of my favorite friends and felt so full, so inspired and so loved that my creativity has been recharged after a stressful season at work. (Thanks, gang!) Not sure if I am finished with this piece or if ut has more to say. I'll sit with it a while and see. #art #artoftheday #artofinstagram #wip #workinprogress #modernart #contemporaryart #color #ilovecolor #creative #colorful #texture #tnartist #nashvilleartist #murfreesboroart #tennesseeart #blue https://www.instagram.com/p/B7EUckYhqvo/?igshid=1k6yxuwjohgqw

"If it seems slow, WAIT FOR IT". I am feeling this verse today. It seems like I have been chasing the vision, impatient for the vision, trying to move the vision along more quickly. However, this verse reminds me that the seeds planted in me will grow not only in time, but at the RIGHT time. Any effort to force the issue ruins the process and threatens the outcome. So, for me, 2019 will be put to rest and I pray I have learned the lessons brought through striving, and hurting and reaching and pushing. It may take the insecurity, rejection and pain with it, too. 2020 is a new opportunity and I have enough of everything I need to be successful, thank you God. Thank you for the vision that will manifest, even if it continues to tarry, at the right time. #2020 #resolve refresh #renew #revelation #vision #visioncasting #creative #intentionality #creativelife #timing #gratitude #newyear #newme https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vYhEvBZsk/?igshid=1hmy3g3m0v8f3

So I thought I would play around with saturation of a single color on a canvas. The original thought was to have this layer be a background with additional paint layered on, but I loved it so much as is. This is actually poured paint, but manipulated in such a way to give movement, texture and depth. The first of the COLOR series, this is Prussian Blue #1, 40"×40". #blue #prussianblue #abstractart #abstractpainting #contemporaryart #contemporary #abstract #pouredpaint #flowpainting #fluid #color #ilovecolor #creative #colorful #texture #tnart #tnartist #artofinstagram #instaart #artoftheday #murfreesboroart #tennesseeart #nashvilleart https://www.instagram.com/p/B4VFMr4BWUG/?igshid=1iqfre8or8g6v
