Mine is a camera - and I say that with all humility. It's simply a "perspective gift" with which I've been entrusted...and Pollywog Creek is a canvas where that "camera brush" paints - where the abundance of my heart speaks in digital photo words of pixels and light.
And it's a sobering thought.
There's no hiding what turns my head or my concept of beauty - what captures my heart.
My idols.
With what brush(es) do you paint and the abundance of your is heart revealed?
Ann - who paints with a multitude of brushes, asks us to share on Wednesdays how we practice Ressurection. (Might you join?) It's my desire - my hope - that I am doing so as I "cultivate an eye for life's mercies" and brush those mercy images onto this Pollywog Creek canvas.
Photos - blanket flowers in all of their glorious stages - my current fascination (as well as the bees) - flourishing in the small flower bed under the study's east-facing window.

I paint with words. Black and white--and the occasional dash of red in the rewrite phase. And then back to black and white. Bold. Italics. The touch of a comma or period. The occasional, well-placed exclamation mark.
I used to say I wasn't artistic until someone lovingly corrected me. I embraced that correction and have held onto to it since.
I am an artist of words.
Beautiful photographs, Pat! I am always so grateful that one of the abilities the Lord has shared with us is His ability to create something in many mediums. What beautiful messages over time have been created. I particularly think of paintings and music and how they still have the ability to stir up our spirit and help us to know new facets of our relationship with Him
Thanks Pat!
So beautiful... I think God paints with flowers and rain and birds and trees and clouds and ALL of nature's beauty. Blanket flowers are indeed one of his masterpieces as are we. You capture them so lovingly.
AN artist I am not,at least not using paints and brushes.I can however see beauty through the lens of my camera.These pictures are stunning.I love those flowers.
What a lovely post. Your pictures are breathtaking - such beauty! I hope I paint with compassion, and with laughter....I'm still finding a voice.
I dearly love to look at your pictures for you capture the Master Artist's beauty. He is glorified by the beauty you reflect in your pictures. Truly the Lord has gifted you. I am learning how to capture beauty with my new camera....at least trying to. But the brush I paint with the most are the words I write and have written. They come from my heart. Thanks for sharing your heart with us Pat as always dear friend!
