Faithfully Made Vol. II
"God has always been uniquely involved with humanity in ways that are different from everything else he made. We're made with his hands, not his commands. We're made in his likeness, unlike his other creations.”
- Tara Leigh Cobble
I've been reading The Bible Recap. I'm currenting in Jeremiah and Tara pointed out this distinction. Our desire to create comes from Him because we bear His image.
A Thoughtful Gift
My friend's daughter picked zinnias, marigolds, and basil from her mother's garden to give to me, which led to these paintings. The color palette especially inspired me, with hues of butter yellow, lime, peach, periwinkle and magenta--a timeless autumn palette in my opinion
Something creative for you to try
Create your own nature collection basket.
Our basket is filled with dried wildflowers from the summer, dried florals from my sister-in-law’s wedding, dried pomegranate, a butterfly (it had already passed, we didn't hurt it), a dried cocoon, and more.
If you have children who like to collect rocks or shells, you could store them in the basket, as well as beautiful leaves and acorns—anything you can think of.
It can be beautiful to look at and enjoy in your home!
How to arrange the large zinnias on canvas
With AI all over the internet, I thought it would be fun to sketch a way to display these paintings, instead of getting AI to make a mock up!
Other ideas include
-on either side of a bed over the beside tables
-complimenting each other on opposite walls in a dining or living room
