Hope is Found in Love

So I decided to start posting about my art. This is a piece that I actually made a while back, but I decided to write about it now because I really like it. It's titled Hope is Found in Love obviously by the text on the canvas. I painted it when I was just meditating on the Lord, and things about my life. There were so many times when I felt as if there was no hope for things to change, but then I would remember that there is hope in love, and there is a verse that says "God is love" so essentially there is hope in God. I know not everyone believes in the same thing, but really the only way to have hope no matter what the circumstance is to look to God. He already know what's happening, and he knows how you can overcome it and be able to stand again. So this painting is very simply a face looking up toward God for hope to get through all of life's struggles.



This painting is available for purchase. Leave a comment if you are interested. I can simply make a print of it, or I can sell you an original. You can also let me know what size you would like. Thank you so much for your support. All money I make from my art will go toward creating more art, and also part of it will be set aside in a missions fund, for my husband and I to be able to go on a mission trip together in the future. Right now I don't know where we will go, but I'll let you know when we decide. 

Devotions for the Artist

So a while back I had the idea to create a devotional series specifically for artists. It would be a devotion based upon a picture or graphic of some sort. Of course there would be scripture involved as well, but it is mainly an image that invokes deep feelings or thoughts and then I would write about something to think about for the day, or a verse to meditate on.
I'm not quite sure how I will go about creating this, but I'd like to get some input. Do you think it would be a good idea? Would people actually buy it? or am I just wasting my time? I'd really like your opinions, please leave a comment. Thank you!
