As they blow… bye and bye.

Red on green vibrates!
Does the red call the butterfly?
1 Pick a flower you want to be intimate with.
2 Wearing a blindfold, feel it with your hands. Pull petals off. Rub between finger tips.
3 Use only one color to better see the light through the petals.
4 Study a scientific diagram to see the actual anatomy.
Watch videos of poppies in a field, blowing.
5 Try to paint a silk poppy that doesn’t droop, dry out or change every day.
Draw it from above, below and eye-to-eye. Memorize the contours of stem, petals, stamen, etc
Do not allow the background color to dominate. Green enhances its opposite, red. Neutral colors contrast with the primaries.
Make the painting about the flower, not the other elements of the composition.
6 Make many sketches and be yourself.
7 Crop! crop! crop!
8 Show us.

Sometimes God’s Creations need to thaw…
Every setting is a grace:
the changing light
the cold
the warmth that falls on the frozen ground.
Do I fear judgement?
harbor uneasiness?
The Son of Man
brings healing
restoration
grace
new beginnings.
I was lost.
And found.
Why would I exclude others?
All God does is
create
transform
reconcile
sanctify.
I can be free of all disguise,
whole in the panorama of creation.
Clothed in “justice for all”
armed with a cosmic view.
No crying, pain, only an awakening.
NOW.
reconciliation
restoration
healing
wrongs made right
letting go of ill will
robed with the compassion of Christ.
I can be the lion
who lies with the lamb;
the lamb who bleats
for the lion.
I am the vibrant channeled creator!
