Wednesday Worship & Wisdom ~ Today's featured artwork is, "Feeling the Darkness Tremble" a 20x24" Acrylic on Canvas from November 2025. Yesterday we delivered this piece to Carlisle Arts Learning Center to be part of their Sales Gallery [which will have a new place inside their location]. This piece was shared as a WIP late last year; however, the 'official photographed image' of the artwork had yet to be shared in its finished state! Here is it and below you can find the song that inspired the title for this artwork; it's 'Did You Feel The Mountains Tremble?' with lyrics by Delirious? and Hillsong Worship: "Open up the doors And let the music pay Let the streets resound with singing Songs that bring Your hope Songs that bring Your joy Dancers who dance upon injustice Do you feel the darkness tremble When all the saints join in one song And all the streams flow as one river To wash away our brokenness" Artist's Statement / Backstory: The original background color was to be a little more lavender/periwinkle than what you see here; however, when mixing the color it continued to be more mauve. I've learned to stop and let it be what it is in those moments. Through meditation and conversation, I've come to realize that sometimes it's exactly what it's supposed to be and I need to stop making it what I want it to be... I couldn't get a clear image from the Spirit that morning of what I was to paint; it just seemed like everything was distant and foggy. I could tell there were things there in that hazy fog; but, I could not make them out. Once again, I leaned into that notion of perhaps that is what I'm supposed to see and painted the fog that I saw instead of forcing something out that I wanted to see. I am quite pleased with how this piece turned out and hope you do as well!

Two weeks ago we shared with you the mini-masterpieces based on our original artwork: "A Sea Of Glass Glowing With Fire," a 24x18" Acrylic on Canvas from September 2025. We'd not officially shared our actual artwork with all of you and are happy to be doing that today! [The original artwork is available for purchase at https://www.craigscanvases.com/shop/p/a-sea-of-glass-glowing-with-fire]. The title comes from snippet from the 'Seven Angels with Seven Plagues' Story in Revelation 15:2, "And I saw what looked like a sea of glass glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and its image and over the number of its name." [as translated in the NIV of The Bible] Artist's Statement / Backstory: Although the worship songs, message, and worship service in its entirety was moving that week; it didn't capture what I was receiving from the Spirit. I continued to be nudged toward the notion of a glassy [which I interpreted as icy] sea being smooth and then beginning to morph as it burst forth into flames. Although the entire canvas is heavily textured, the lower areas and right side of the canvas were layered with pigments to make them appear as smoothly frozen ice with depth and almost a chill to contrast what's breaking forth above it. Fun Fact: Adding the gloss varnish to this piece really concretes the notion of a glassy sea; so, be on the lookout for a video of this at some point in the future!

"Fire and wind, come and do it again Open up the gates, let Heaven on in Come rest on us Come rest on us" - From 'Rest On Us' by Maverick City Music and UPPERROOM The artwork we're sharing today is titled from the snippet above, "Fire & Wind, Come And Do It Again," a 24x18" Mixed Media on ​Paper from October 2025. To purchase the original artwork; ​p​lease go to: https://www.craigscanvases.com/shop/p/fire-wind-come-and-do-it-again This artwork was created at the 11:00 AM Worship Service at The Journey Church when we served as part of our Creative Arts Ministry. We're scheduled again for the last weekend in January 2026 if you'd like to join us! Artist's Statement / Backstory: In going through things, to wrap-up the end of the year, I realized that this artwork didn't get shared with everyone! The notions of 'fire and wind' seem like the perfect way to encapsulate the closing of one year and the opening of a new one! With this piece the linear quality of the watercolor in the background was intentionally in juxtaposition to the swirling/spiraling colors of oil pastels placed over them. Attempting to encapsulate the ways in which God can calm the storms in our lives sometimes more easily and other times only through the intervention of divine fire and/or wind.

Worship & Wisdom Wednesday!

his past Sunday at The Journey Church the worship team opened with, 'Rest On Us' by Maverick City Music and UPPERROOM. The opening to that song is: "As the Spirit was moving over the waters Spirit, come move over us Come rest on us Come rest on us​..." Those opening lyrics quickly confirmed we were on the right track for the artwork we were being nudged to create [please see more about that below]. Today we're sharing the piece that was created during the 9:00 AM Worship Service, "Spirit Was Moving Over The Waters," an 18x24" Mixed Media on ​Paper from October 2025. To purchase the original artwork; ​p​lease go to: https://www.craigscanvases.com/shop/p/spirit-was-moving-over-the-waters Artist's Statement / Backstory: I felt those Spirit nudges that I needed to create an artwork with water; but, I also kept feeling chaos. I decided to ​'​Sit In The Spirit;' attempt​ing to focus and determine if it was chaos that was inside of me, was something external, like ​I was picking up the chaotic energy inside the room, or if I just wasn't focused on the right thing. Sitting in stillness, I quickly realized I could shut the chaos of my own life and what was seeping in around me, while in God's presence, and I knew that's what I needed to capture in an ​artwork. I ​was compelled to show the way in which God's Spirit takes chaos and calms everything down to calmness. ​A​s I've found to be the norm in creating art as part of worship, I was faced with a combination and juxtaposition simultaneously. I put all those thoughts out of my head and allowed myself to create in the Spirit; in doing so, I feel this piece embodies ​everything I set out to capture and portray in a simple yet powerful and straightforward way.
