New Work

Recently there has been a lot of creativity in my studio but everything falls apart. Simple things like not measuring the window correctly for a mat. Trying to find a composition that works is frustrating, there are no clear directions in which to go. I will have an idea and then realize that it isn't going to work. I did a quote that I found in an inspirational book but it was scooped up by my wife, I didn't want to say no so she is using it for her purposes. . My work is kind of like calligraphy and it can be difficult to find appropriate quotes to illustrate. My most enduring quotes have been scripture. Psalm 118:24 is a favorite passage of scripture: Rejoice in the day and be glad in it for this is the day the Lord has made. I have done that verse more times than I care to count. II Timothy 1:7 is another favorite: For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love, and of a sound mind. I find passages in the Bible that I have missed for years and then I will read an inspirational book and discover new verses. It is great.
Lately I have been reading books on improving my walk with God. And this scares me because I will see just how much there is to learn. This is when scripture comes in handy. For instance: I can do all things through God who strengthens me, Phillipians 4:13. Well, time to take my dog out. Nature calls.
