Art is the soul made visible…
the spirit tangible…
the unseen possible!
Lately I’ve been contemplating the transformative power of art. How amazing that something envisioned can come to life through an art form!
There are other benefits as well. For example, when you can’t find words to express your feelings, artistic expression can become your soul’s voice.
Over the last few years, I’ve gone through a befuddling shift from mostly creating with words to also creating through art. Once a writer whose soul escaped through her pen, my imagination and emotions now find gentle expression through the tip of a paint brush.
Painting portraits provides a way for me to connect with my Creator who makes the unseen possible. Whether noble character traits I’ve longed to possess, divine purposes I’ve desired to accomplish, or changes I’ve striven to make, painting releases God’s grace to move forward. I’ve especially felt drawn to painting eyes because eyes are the window of the soul. Instead of only using words to express what’s going on inside, creating portraits has made my soul visible!
