#058 | 365-Days of Color: Beta Commission Complete

I call it, “Deep In Prayer.” 8x10. Beta Commission.

Anywhere, anytime, and anybody can pray and man does our hurting world need lots of it!

We can ask God, thank God, vent to God, confess to God, and connect with God in prayer.

All your prayers are heard, but maybe not always answered the way we expect. It’s either a Yes, No (I have something better) or Not Yet (it’s coming, be patient).

When I’m deep in prayer I feel like nothing else matters except me and Jesus. When He feels close, I feel safe.

For me the very HARDEST part of being in prayer is being, “still.” Like actually turning off my brain and giving Jesus my full, undivided attention. What about you?

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
— Ephesians 6:18

Daily Creative Quiet Time

Here I go! All through 2022 I’ll be sharing my daily creative quiet time routine. I’ll shoot for 10-minutes a day (at least) progressing through a Commission, or an Online Animal Art Masterclass tutorial, or a Youtube tutorial, or artwork for Collectors.

For me the creative process involves more than just colorful paint, it’s an act of praise and worship. I chose the phrase “Confidence in the Lord” as my art/life focus for the year. I plan to pull colorful inspiration from bible verses, the valuable lessons of life, and the vibrant paint I get my hands on! Now lets paint.
