Description
What is your happy place? My happy place is sitting outdoors looking over the countryside where the only sounds are coming from nature, a gentle breeze is blowing, butterflies are flitting from flower to flower, and God whispers His love in my ear.
Isaiah 33:17 Your eyes will see the king in his beauty and view a land that stretches afar.
My husband had given me a beautiful bouquet for our anniversary, so I stopped other projects I was working on to use the flowers for a painting lesson for one of my students. I used a live lily for the model. I wanted to keep the painting very simple, since my teenage student had very little experience in art. I painted along with him; painting on my canvas, while he painted on his. After my student no longer needed to look at my painting for a sample, I added feathers, little flowers, and butterflies for my own enjoyment.
It took a few weeks to work on the painting, since my student only came once a week. During that time, the live lily kept drooping and changing shape as it faded away. I was forced to finish the painting from my imagination. My initial realistic endeavor turned into something more dreamy and abstract. My paintings tend to take on a life of their own. I'm just along for the ride.
