My new favorite. Yep. Definitely. I call it Seeking the Light. It’s really about seeking wisdom, truth. Light and truth are synonymous. D&C 88
6 He that aascended up on high, as also he bdescended below all things, in that he ccomprehended all things, that he might be in all and through all things, the dlight of truth;
7 Which truth shineth. This is the alight of Christ. As also he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was bmade.
8 As also he is in the moon, and is the light of the moon, and the power thereof by which it was made;
9 As also the light of the stars, and the power thereof by which they were made;
11 And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your aunderstandings;
12 Which alight proceedeth forth from the presence of God to bfill the immensity of space—
13 The alight which is in all things, which giveth blife to all things, which is the claw by which all things are governed, even the dpower of God who esitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things.
I have a show in St. George this weekend so I’ve been working on a bunch of new paintings. I want to keep things fresh, you know? The show is called the Open Air Art Affair and it’s being put on by Ed Wallace and Gayla Prince Wallace. I’ve been to a few of their shows now and they’re really nice. I love the atmosphere and it’s really fun to meet other artists and art lovers. Anyway, here are my latest paintings. I’ve actually finished 2 more as well as these but they haven’t been photographed yet. Hopefully I’ll be able to post them tomorrow.
Here is my finished painting. I’m going to call it Searching for the Sun. I’ve included some close up pictures so you can see the details better. (more…)
I’ve decided to enter an art competition that will go from Feb. 15th through March 28th. My sister in law, Kristina found out about it in the paper and sent me the article.
It’s always fun to enter a competition. Even when I don’t win it’s a kick. I never actually agree with the judges and it’s a lot of fun to go around and decide who I would have picked as a winner. There is so much talent out there. I always have to remind myself that I don’t have to be the best. I just have to be as good as I can be and that’s enough. It’s better to compete with myself, to always try to make the piece that I’m working on better than the last one and then if I fail to not mind and just try again the next time. The day that it becomes too serious is the day that I’ll stop. It has to be fun or what’s the point? We are that we might have joy, not stress and misery. Those things come but why bring them upon ourselves? I paint because I love it. If it sells, it sells. If it wins, it wins and if it doesn’t, at least I enjoyed the ride.
The paintings that you see on this post are the ones that I have decided to enter.
I am fascinated by the natural world around me and the people who live in it. Nature is art, and I love to try and capture the beauty that resonates through it. Everything and everyone has a story to tell. Everything and everyone around us is full of emotion and life and has had experiences that we can’t even imagine.
