Today is November 5, 2013 as we are approaching Thanksgiving then in December Christmas, two very celebratory months where families come together and pause for a while, just for a very short while giving thanks and worship Jesus birthday on December 25. I always love Christmas, my mother’s birthday was in December and so we happily celebrated each year and so enjoyed this time and in my paintings today this is for, Jackie, my mom, who art in heaven today with our Lord of Lords and all the Saints, Glory Be. She was my best friend and my best critique and so enjoyed every art painting I painted for her, not like the world, so I have deferred back to her suggestions and not the world’s suggestions on what makes good painting. She knew more about  art than the judging world, and so I take pause to reflect on her wisdom. Thank you mom.

If you do not honor your mother and father, take a moment and pause and know that you are not abiding by God’s commandments and this is one of his higher order instructions from Jesus. Thank God for Jesus!!! Do you remember what the 3 exclamation marks mean? In the Name of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost. Ok now back to painting. Have a great day. Maybe make a list of all your blessing, just 10 a day and see how many days you can go before the list is completed? (smile)!!!

For The Love Of God

Painting WC-1

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
