Sometimes the most unexpected conversations happen in the most unexpected places. She was my nail beautician, slim and petite, wearing a pair of glasses and a mask. But she possesses an attitude of ”I’ve seen it all, know it all” which raised my curiosity. Somehow...
Before I tell you the background about this painting, please let me ask you, friend: Did this past year feel very heavy to you too? Tell me about it, sister! The vision of this painting came into my mind when I was wrestling with the dark spirit. This image conveyed...
I just finished this long-overdue painting of my boys. Because my hands and eyes are rusty from not painting oil for a long period, this is not an easy start for me. Often times I was frustrated and discouraged. I had to repaint some areas over and over. But in the...
I am blessed to have a small group of mom friends who, although they live far apart from me, encourage me and hold me spiritually accountable on a daily basis. They also happen to be on my blog team. Recently, the theme of our communication seems to be this one...
