Come Home

Your best friends with the word regret

Your afraid that your life's been wasted

So why hope if it's only gonna let you down?

You don't think people really change

Your a mess and you'll always be the same

And you doubt if you'll ever get it turned around



Chorus

So (I know) you've been running, searching for something

But you're looking in a place you don't belong

But it's never to late, you can't outrun grace

No, Mercy doesn't care what you've done

Come Home 

You can try to fix your broken empire

Put bricks on a cracked foundation

But you'll be building castles on the sand

There's power in the blood of Jesus

"Your father's screaming Just Come Home!"

He's reaching out His hands


Bridge

From the shadows , From the wrong roads

From the darkness, From the unknown

To redemption, Something beautiful

To a new love, to new home

Canvas board Journal

I made this art journal from a canvas board that I had painted and collaged in a butterfly theme.  The pages within are watercolor paper.  It is more intimidating to work in this book than a fifty cent composition book.  I hope to fill it 2012.

Ask

We are all artists of some kind.  The only way to discover and develop our unique giftings is to be comfortable expressing the artist that we are.  I will always have that structural tension between what I had envisioned in my head and what actually happens at the end of my paint brush.  I think it drives me.  

Hope all are well and making ART

Journal page from last January.  I am wondering why I can't pin images from my blog to pinterest.  Today I have a few projects I hope to accomplish.  I need to have good examples for classes this week.

Inner Voice

Entry into my junque art journal.

 Most of it was done while carrying on in the 2008 mixed media class.  While I was planning the class I wanted to wrap my mind around how to express to them what I meant by internal dialog.   That internal dialog we have that makes us randomly laugh or become quiet. While you are doing everyday things this voice in you brings gems for Art Journaling. I am trying to remember the "inside" jokes of the day.  Expressing the day visually.

 I know, I know voices in my head .......   One artist described it as the material for wildly entertaining and moving journals...Collect along your journey.

   I have no idea who the reggae band is under the v I Liked the energy they brought to the page.

Testing to see if mobile down load works.  Hooray it did !
This is a picture of the Sanibel lighthouse.  What a beautiful place.
This may be the place I record all of my art adventures because my other blogs do not seem to work with my mobile phone or other accounts.  All this technology is way over my learning curve !!!
