BEHOLD

I love painting and photographing doors. There is something that about doors that begs the question, "What is behind the door?"

However on this one, I'm reminded of the door where Jesus stands...the doorway to our hearts. Behold, I stand at the door and knock.

What is on the inside of the door your heart? What is on the inside of the door to my heart? I'm opening the door to let him in.

This painting is on acrylic canvas but is also available in a print. Order two today.

Welcome, Lord,

YES SIR REE

I wish I could say there was some deep spiritual message behind "Yes Sir Ree", but there's not. Tee hee! She just randomly popped in my head and I started painting her. When I was a young teen we used to exclaim, "Yes sir ree, Joe Bob Buckwheat!" It was just a fun little thing to say.

Like all of my paintings, this one is available in a print. You can contact me at journeysinn@gmail.com for more information. Prints are only $15.00 plus shipping and handling.

Just say yes!

BE...

I am learning to just BE. Through meditation and prayer and being alone with my thoughts I am learning to listen for God. What is amazing in this process is that as "busy" as I am, my mind is slowing down and I'm not as busy as I was when my mind was so active.

I made this painting/collage when I was just beginning the process of "be-ing." It was funny when I painted her I wondered why I cocked her head this certain odd angle. Then, when I placed the bird was on her shoulder, it made sense. It's as if the little bird has something to say to her.

That's the same way it is with God and us. If we allow ourselves the opportunity to "be", he will speak, guide, comfort and share his love with us. Oh, to abide in the dwelling place of the most high God. I want to

Be,
Lila
