beauty in small things.

I am excited to share this newest painting with you today! It is a custom piece for a sweet girl that I went to high school with named Amanda. I was so honored to be asked to create a painting that will help her remember and tell the story of how God has been her strength and hope this past year!

It looks a little different depending on what angle you see it from...the sunset has a "glimmer" to it from this angle...

I loved that she wanted me to use things that are symbolic to her and remind her of certain memories, like this orange tissue paper...



I added a few items to convey parts of the story and make it more personal to her, like these vintage book pages that represent Truth (unfading)...





....and the swirls around the edges represent God's presence in every situation...



A lot of the painting is based on moments when Amanda experienced beauty in small things and how the Lord revealed Himself to her. I have been so inspired working with her!

Thank you for this opportunity Amanda! It was so fun to create this for you. I've never done anything like this and I loved it! I hope and pray that it's an awesome way to share your testimony and celebrate God's faithfulness!

Thanks for letting me share it!

happy Wednesday!
