"Walking by Faith"In life and in art we often have to "walk by faith". Things can be uncertain, scary and down-right intimidating at times. It is common to compare ourselves to other artists- always the best ones, right? Forgetting that they too had fearful beginnings and times of doubt.
I love to encourage the budding artist to not only press on, but to have fun. Try to be a kid again, color outside of the lines, soak in the newness of it all as you begin the journey to grow and develop your own unique style. So I titled this painting, "Walking by Faith" as a reminder that we all have to take that first step, even when the path is not yet clear, and the ground feels a bit rocky and rough. I pray I encourage you to lift up your eyes and embolden your hearts to press on- knowing that with each step your artistic horizon will beautifully come into view. Thanks for visiting my blog!

This is so true. I started my art journey about 2 years ago. For the first few paintings I actually thought they were good.!!

Thank you sweetheart. This is such an awesome comment and I’m sure it will encourage others. It’s best to look straight forward in our artistic journeys and constantly look to the left or the right in comparing ourselves to others.
