Worshiping the Ground
12" x 15" image (14" x 17"paper)
Lt.Ed. of 10 on watercolor paper

Like a bright sunshiny morning, this painting is about beginnings.
On my first day of Kindergarten I ran under a table and cried...
Beginnings are hard!

I titled this painting Worshiping the Ground because
if God is everywhere, He is in dirt.
We need the Divine at the ugly beginning!

This is a window into a glowing world of encouragement through adversity.

I did a little video on what I saw in this painting:

Here’s how I see it … with an inspiring ending.
We’ve all been there … struggling to learn something new.

This is just what I see in the painting.
I want you to see something totally different than what I see.
That's why I paint abstractly:
to open the mind beyond definitions,
to give soil for interpretations to grow,
to set your imagination free.

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” - Picasso

As we begin 2022,
Embrace Challenges as you would
Skydiving, Karaoke & Rollercoasters.

Oh, by the way, those are Angel Wing Begonias in the foreground.
True confession: I’m a Begoniac.
