Sometimes you've just got to show up & do something... I learnt through my healing prayer session last week that one of my stumbling blocks is giving myself permission to create & just enjoy the process. No expectations & no judgements so that's what I'm working on this week. Just put paint to paper any way it goes. There is no right & wrong. Loosening up may take a while. So we learn. I'm just practicing brush strokes & mixing colours here. I still find it hard to just pai

I started a weekly paint party on Thursday morning with 2 classmates from art class this morning. Being artists of course, none of us...

Good morning beautiful people. I thought I'd take a moment this morning to show you my creative spaces where all my creative magic happens with God's help. I do not have a studio, since our 23 year old moved back home in June last year & took over what used to be our study thus everything that what was in there had to move into the lounge. Homes are so much smaller here in New Zealand than what I'm used to from growing up in South Africa. It's a very tight squeeze but it's co

Today was the opening of the annual members' exhibition at Mairangi Bay Art Centre for the next 2 weeks. I felt prompted to submit my "God so Loved the World" watercolour painting so He can touch a few more hearts through it over the next 2 weeks. I was pleasantly surprised when I met a lady who asked I was a contributing artist. I confirmed & upon her request pointed her to my "God so Loved the World" painting and said after all God just loves us so much. She said although s

Satan's lie: Jack of all trades, master of none. God made you that way so you can reach more people. Jack of all trades, master of DIVERSITY. I just discovered through watching the 2018 Gathering of Artisans Q&A that I've believed this lie all my life because I've dabbled in such a wide variety of skills over the course of my life. • Sewing • Knitting • Crocheting • Embroidery • Cross-stitch Embroidery • Drawing • Colouring • Painting • Singing • Dancing • Drama "J
