About Me

My photo
Kim Carlton
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.
