My name is Kim Carlton. I am a Christian and a wife and a mother. I am a writer and a painter.
My blog is dedicated to sharing the paintings and writings about art that spring forth from a life dedicated to God, that is, my life.
Isaiah 60:1 Arise! Shine! For your light arrives! The splendor of the LORD shines on you!
Ephesians 5:14 For anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
Psalm 97:11 LIGHT is sown for the righteous, and JOY for the upright in heart.
John 15:11 These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.~~~~~~ Paint the Light; PAINT YOUR JOY.
This scene will not be around a lot longer. The barn looks like it will welcome a change; so tired. There are working farms all over this area, tractors moving, workers working, animals grazing. But all around them are very busy earth movers, bulldozers, tree haulers. In place of vegetable patches, strip malls are popping up here and there. While we were painting, an enormous power company truck turned down the dirt road we were next to with a load of telephone poles in tow. The drivers got out and watched us paint for a while, smelling the roses before they're gone. The little barns and farm houses seem vulnerable and threatened and really crying out for documentation. So we documented with love. And, you know... paint.
That is such a nice sentiment...documented with love and paint. Nice blog, made with care. Cheers, Tonya
