Remember when I blogged about art and healing the other day? Well, the piece that I was working on and that inspired that post is finished! Here she is . . .
I called this one "Faith Keeper." The words around her head are from Psalm 119. They read:
I called this one "Faith Keeper." The words around her head are from Psalm 119. They read:
“With your very own hands you formed me; now breathe your wisdom over
me . . . Oh, love me—and right now!—hold me tight! just the way you
promised.”

I just cannot get enough of painting blue-haired girls. And this shade of turquoise is a favorite of mine, especially when paired with the darker pinks and blues. I wonder if I might need to dye my hair this color at some point . Although maybe I'll wait until I get a few more gray hairs . . . I do enjoy my hair the way it is most of the time. :)
I am really pleased with how this one turned out. For perhaps the first time, today I was looking back over the body of my artwork and able to see how it is evolving and changing. Subtle aspects of techniques I am learning in various online classes are working their way into each piece, but without overwhelming my unique style.
This is such an intriguing path, this art-making, just as babyloss and faith and pregnancy and life all are. What a gift to be able to travel each one, even with the pain. They are all leading, I think, to one very, very good place -- the heart of God. I am grateful.
I love this piece...and I love the scripture. Beautiful.
