This is a painting I originally created in 2006. I matted and framed it ad tried to sell it. I did not know how to utilize the color of the mat to best effect and I cut the mat wrong. It did not sell. The shop closed, my painting was returned. I love it. It is my first original work. Somewhat. It was based on a photograph of tulips. I changed the composition and the colors. What was once a nature photograph was turned into a watercolor painting. I try to get other's opinions but a friend told me that there was a problem with posting on my site. The name of the painting is: My love of Gods tulips. Tulips come up in the spring, I was born in the spring, very close to the time that tulips erupt from the earth. We have an affinity for one another.
The book of James says in James 1:19: "Wherefore my beloved brethren,let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath." (KJV) I am so slow to hear. A wise counselor told me to go easy on the use of the Bible, lest I appear a fanatic. Yet there are things that I've heard that I have struggled with. James said to bridle your tongue. 1:26 James said that speech is like a ship without a rudder. So my counselor is right in a way, I speak of things that I don't always understand... In a way I am a zealot. And I can be hard-headed, I don't always listen when people give me good advice... Apologies to someone who knows much more than I do... Dale
