Everyone from time to time wonders about life and as they are passing through, are they doing the right things. A lot of the answers are right within each of us and I’ll share my thoughts on how I love the work of an artist.

I was not a trained artist and my whole life was spent in science, I worked close to 40 (35) years for 3M company and when I was about 45 years of age, after a divorce, and a lot of heart ache, I started to paint. Many things can happen in ones life and in my case was a divorce. It was a blessing in many ways and as I look back can see that my first wife was not in tune with me at all, and in my present marriage to Marge, we have challenges but I am learning how to love, thank you dear. In a marriage your spouse is either for you 100% (and you will know) or against you, there is no in-between. Life lessons are for a reason to give you strength for the plan God has for you in the coming years, one milestone or several milestones do not define a life and so if you make mistakes don’t fret happens all the time, just make your journey corrections and keep going. Marge and I love to travel and to do our photography and then later I paint.

Back to art and painting. Painting for me is like the air I breath and God has been good to lead me to the water of life and I thank Jesus for everything. This year was fun I was accepted into the Oil Painters Of America and next year I am going to travel and participate in OPA Events. Great fun.

In today’s painting Psalm 23 comes to  me and I love the power in this and when ever you get into trouble go to this Psalm and God’s grace will protect you from whatever is happening. Remember you are not battling flesh and blood but dark powers and you need God’s assurance to protect.

Keep the faith and remember God love’s you, w love Jimmy Springett-wildlife painter
